In this once-a-week course, we will practice and learn the fundamental movements of beginning ballet techniques. This beginning level class is designed to develop an awareness of alignment and basic ballet vocabulary through barre practices while using a mix of classical ballet accompaniments and instrumental variations of popular hit songs for a dose of fun! Through a progressively structured curriculum, dancers will build focus and concentration while creating muscle memory and practicing proper classroom manners. This class is designed as a follow-along for those that have less than one year of experience or need a good refresher! It will serve as a great fit for those who aspire to improve their dancing! We will cover the following over four weeks: • Posture and Alignment • Port de Bras • Proper Turnout • Foot Positions: first, second, and third • Plie, Tendu, Dégagé, Ronde de Jambe, Battement Développé, Grand Battement, Relevé, Retire, Passé, Sauté • Ballet Combination • History of Ballet Each class will consist of: • Introduction/Warm-Up • Barre • Stretching • Center Floorwork • Reverence
Learning Goals
This is a great class to build upon the fundamentals of ballet and build control through body awareness. This course can be retaken as often as desired to perfect the techniques.Other Details

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.Reviews
