Ballet is one of the fundamentals of dance to create a well-rounded dancer - it helps build control, muscle tone, and musicality. In this structured, once-a-week course, we will develop a stronger understanding of beginning ballet barre combinations and techniques using a mix of classical ballet accompaniments and instrumental variations of popular hit songs. This class is designed as a follow-along through observation and physical application. Each class will consist of: • Introduction/Warm-Up • Barre • Stretching • Center Floorwork • Reverence ----- If your dancer is brand new to ballet or not quite ready yet, head over to "Movement Academy: Intro to Ballet (Ages 11-16)" to get started! Movement Academy: Intro to Ballet is a perfect class for them to learn the basics. The differences between the Ballet levels Intro, I, II, and III are based on the level of detail required to execute proper ballet technique. The higher the level, the more serious and structured the class.
Learning Goals
This class is designed to build upon the fundamentals of ballet barre work and build control through body awareness. Ballet III can be retaken as often as desired to perfect the techniques as lesson plans evolve each month. The recommended time in Ballet III is a minimum of one (1) year before advancing - unless assessed otherwise.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been studying dance for 25 years and am a firm believer that ballet sets dancers up for success! Ballet teaches dancers control, precision, and self-discipline while providing both physical fitness and mental stimulation. I love how calming and poetic this discipline is while building confident dancers for life.
