Would you like your kids to move more gracefully and have a great posture? Ballet is the ABCDs of any dance style. If your kids love to dance jazz, tap, or hip-hop - they will need at least the basics of ballet technique to advance in other styles of the dance. We will: Warm up, stretch, learn basic ballet steps. We will learn dance steps: polka, waltz, march. Elements of creative dance (tempo, level, energy) will be taught in the class also. At the end of the lesson we will learn a small composition. Here is plan of my class: Floor Work • butterfly game: work on turning out legs • feet work: point and flex both, then alternate, then stretch forward with flexed feet, then again with pointed feet • straddle stretch sides and front • work on core muscles Center • Positions: arms, feet • Plies in first, second positions • Tendus from first to front, side and back • Releves in first, second positions • Demi rond de jambe • Grand battements across floor front only • Balancing exercise Jumps/Across the floor exercises • Sautes • Echapes (first to second) • Passe walks & skips • Chasse with tummy facing the mirror & with right and left leg in front • Leap over something on the floor • Glissade, Pas de Chat MY REFUND POLICY: I follow the Moderate Refund Policy. Once a month I can process a refund based on the special circumstances. I do offer dance classes which can be taken to make up for missed class: Character Dance, Floor Barre.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dance exercise requires open safe space; comfortable clothing; ballet shoes are the best choice, if it is not available - non slippery socks or comfortable shoes. I would need students to have a small soft toy which will be used as a prop during lesson.
Camera - I would need to be able to see students legs and arms for timely corrections.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
