4 live meetings
3 in-class hoursClass Experience
Students follow along with this ballet class, practicing exercises that improve ballet technique and expand artistic expression. Students will dance all together for most of the class but will practice dancing one by one at certain times. Students will learn steps and exercises from the Grades 1 and 2 syllabi from the Royal Academy of Dance, the largest ballet teaching organization in the world. Students will work on improving strength, coordination, musicality and creativity, while building a solid foundation in ballet technique. This class is intended for dancers who are 7 – 10 years old and usually have 1 – 3 years of recent ballet experience. If your dancer has little or no ballet experience, please contact Mrs. Watters about class placement before registration. If your dancer is on the higher end of the age range (9 or 10 years old) this would be suitable if they are newer to ballet (1-2 years approximately). Please reach out with any questions about placement.

Parental Guidance
Parents will not participate in class but please make sure a parent or other responsible adult is nearby supervising the student.
Supply List
1) Students need to wear clothes that they can move in. For footwear, ballet shoes are best, but are not required. Jazz shoes will work as an alternative and socks are okay as long as your floor is not too slippery. 2) Dancers should have a clear space where they can move around. When choosing a spot for your learner to dance, try to find a place where your device can show them in camera view head to toe. 3) Dancers should bring one prop to class: a piece of ribbon 12 - 24 inches (30 to 60 cm) long 4) Please have a chair (or barre) for dancers to use for barre work.
