Calling all Ballerinas! 🩰 In this ongoing course, students will be immersed in beginner-level ballet instruction, meticulously structured to cover essential movements, techniques, and the foundational terminology of classical ballet. This course uniquely marries the traditional ballet with the delightful charm, creating an enchanting and educational experience. WHAT TO EXPECT: 1. The session begins with "shares," where students are encouraged to share the highlights of their week. 2. Followed by warm-up at barre 3. Next, Light stretching to minimize the risk of injuries. 4. Finally, center floor activities introduce ballet positions, movements, and terminology. 5. Lastly, students have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge by participating in a sample routine. 6. If time permits, a freeze dance will also be included in the session. HOW TO PREPARE: Students are asked to dress casually, find an open space, and be prepared to move! 🛑 IMPORTANT NOTE 🛑 This course is designed for group learning, so feedback—both positive and constructive—will be provided as a whole, regardless of section size. If you prefer personalized or more tailored instruction, feel free to contact me about private lessons. 🎶 MUSIC 🎶 The music for this course is carefully chosen to adhere to more traditional classical ballet standards, and will be primarily instrumentals. 🎤 CLASS EXPECTATIONS (MUTING)🎤 While I do my best to encourage participation from learners enrolled in my classes. Learners will be muted following introductions (discussion likely opened again during exit in which you may choose to leave prior) due to background noise that cannot be prevented and it’s interferences with music/instruction. Class Schedule: Week of <April 22-26>: Turns Week of <April 29-May 3>: Across The Floor Week of <May 6-10>: Leaps Week of <May 13-17>: Kicks
