Do you have an interest in learning ballet while practicing balance and coordination? (This class is great for any learner who wants to learn fun basic ballet steps or learners who have some ballet experience and want to review and practice fundamental skills). In this Self-paced class basic ballet steps will be introduced while focusing on good posture and fluid movements. We will use fairy inspired instrumental music to practice a few ballet steps and learn a short dance (use a ribbon wand or scarf). Then learn a ballet dance to the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker! Learners will be guided through basic dance steps and then play a fun guessing game to review the ballet steps! We will also practice pronouncing the ballet vocabulary and learn the meaning of many ballet steps. Learners will be given pointers on how to stay on the beat and have good musicality. See Syllabus for lesson descriptions. Learners can post an optional video for feedback. *Dance experience is helpful but not required for this class. *This class has a flexible age range. Moves are basic but may be fast and require a bit of practice. *This class is PRE-RECORDED videos. Learners can message the teacher and ask questions to interact and receive feedback. *Pre-recorded Classes are great for busy schedules as you can do them at a time that is best for your schedule. You can also pause and go back if you need a step repeated or more time to practice each part of the dance.
