*Intermediate Ballet Students must have a water bottle or full glass of water nearby during class to stay hydrated*

Materials:
-Chair with a back or portable ballet barre (to hold lightly for balance)

Optional Attire: 
-Leotard and tights or a well-fitting t-shirt with leggings, shorts, or well-fitting sweatpants 
-Long hair pulled back into a bun 
-Well-fitting ballet slippers (black ballet slippers tend to be more visible to me on Zoom)

**For safety reasons: NO POINTE SHOES!**

If your child does not have the materials or proper attire, don't worry! Accomodations will be made to help your child participate fully. 

Be sure that ballet students are head-to-toes on camera when standing. Students should have water, room to move, comfortable clothing, and appropriate footwear. If possible, no carpet flooring or mats. Ballet slippers preffered!

Parents may want to remain close by during ballet class to encourage attention and help with any technology issues that might arise. Just remember that adults are not to be visible on-camera. 

If any technological issues arise during class (ex: teacher is inaudible), parents can send me a message in the chat on Zoom and I will do my best to resolve the issue. 

This intermediate ballet class is great for students who are neurotypical, neurodiverse, have Autism, ADHD, speech impairments, dyslexia, Down Syndrome, and many other disability classifications. 

If a family has any special needs, comments, or concerns before or after class they can feel free to send me a private message on Outschool and I will do my best to accommodate to your satisfaction within 48 hours. 

I will gladly make accomodations/modifications to help each learner. Examples of modifications/accomodations include:
-Setting up a time for a short one-on-one session before their first class to prepare them
-Increasing or decreasing my verbal feedback during class (ex: I can refrain from giving "negative feedback" and focus solely on positives)
-Breaking down steps more for your child to work on one aspect at a time (ex: focus on arms for a step one week and feet the next)
-Allowing students to have their camera off while they practice new steps

Please reach out with any requests. I truly try my best to make my class as accessible as possible for students.
