Classical ballet is the core of each levels syllabus and allows students to develop poise, flexibility, strength and discipline. And most importantly, it will be a fun environment to learn dance!

Class Experience

My ballet classes focus on teaching classical ballet technique and musicality, growing a deeper understanding of how and why each movement is executed. The goal is for students to gain a strong foundation of ballet movements. The students will learn basic ballet terminology and ballet barre class structure. I will provide feedback throughout the lesson, which I believe is the best way for students to learn and improve. The student can raise their hand and ask questions between each exercise....

Students will learn the 5 positions of hands and feet, focusing on arm and leg extension, body lines, fluid movement and musicality. This will create a strong foundation for beginners.

 Ballet shoes or non slip socks are required for this class, a water bottle, ballet barre highly preferred if not a steady chair, proper ballet leotard, tights, hair in bun or pony tale  The goal for my classes is to prevent injuries, so I please ask students to be supervised if needed so he/she can prevent injuries and be as safe as possible.

Students are expected to practice on their own. They should do 5 minutes a day just stretching, and then 15 minutes a day practicing the movements they have learned in class.

40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
