Class Experience

Beginner Level

This 6 Week Flexible Beginner Ballet Course is aimed at children aged 7 - 11 years.  It is suitable for beginners or those with very little ballet training.  It is ideal for those who cannot attend my live classes or require the flexibility of being able to practice in their own time.  A huge advantage to taking a flexible course is the ability to practice the weekly videos over and over.  Learners are encouraged to upload their own videos to the classroom so that I can offer feedback during...

Students will learn basic beginner ballet technique including pliés, sauté, ballet positions. They will also learn a Ballet Dance.

I have been teaching dance for over 25 years.  I am a qualified professional dance teacher holding my Ballet Teaching certificate with the NCDTA (Northern Counties Dance Teachers Association in the UK).  I have taught all ages of ballet from young to adult; also training other teachers.  I am currently the Children's Program Director of a Dance Studio in the USA.  Ballet is one of my favorite classes to teach!
