Students will learn the "Sugar Plum Fairy" solo from the Christmas classic, "The Nutcracker." After a brief barre warm-up (pointe shoes optional), we will learn and perfect this iconic solo to share with friends and family this holiday season. As a professional ballerina, I will provide individual correction and praise throughout class in order to improve technique and performance quality from each dancer! It is recommended students are in an intermediate/advanced level of ballet and have proficient knowledge of ballet vocabulary. My classroom promotes of culture of kindness and praise so that each dancer leaves class uplifted and joyful (with a bit better ballet technique).
Learning Goals
Students will learn the original choreography of Balanchine's Sugar Plum Fairy Solo from "The Nutcracker."

Parental Guidance
This will be a physically active class. An open space for safe dancing with a non-slick floor is very important to the safety of this class. Additionally, proper footwear in terms of ballet soft shoes, socks with rubber grips and/or pointe shoes are required. Students should prepare for class with a physical warm-up and stretching as well as having a water bottle nearby to stay hydrated during class. Parent supervision is recommended in order to ensure safety for the students and injury prevention. Thanks for all you do to making this a safe and fun class!
