What's included
1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
In this ongoing class your child will learn basic ballet steps including 2 out of the 5 ballet positions of the feet, basic ballet terminology including but not limited to plie, releve, and saute. We will learn how to pointe our toes and move our arms (port de bras). We will also start to jump (saute). We also will learn to count to 10 in French. All ballet terms are in French and this helps them get used ballet terminology. The class starts with floor exercises, move to standing exercises, across the floor movement and at the end of class we will have a creative movement section. Each class is structured with ballet exercises and then a new creative movement at the end of each class. The classes repeat exercises to build muscle memory and increase confidence. I have a BFA in Ballet and I am classically trained. I have over 25 years experience teaching young ones about ballet and the love of dance. I teach in a positive, yet structured atmosphere. My curriculum is serious and prepares little dancers for the next level of beginning ballet.
