Ballet con la señorita Jamie: danza de ballet para principiantes (4-7)

Each Ballet with Miss Jamie class begins with the “question of the day.” Then, we will warm up and stretch our bodies to prepare for dancing. Each week we focus on different age-appropriate ballet positions, footwork, jumps and steps. We will use the movements learned in class to create short dance combinations and play dance games to increase musicality, balance and strength. We always finish class with curtsies and show and tell!

You are welcome to join the class at any time. No previous dance experience is required. This class is inclusive and can be adapted for all learners. Please message me before class so I can adapt the class material if needed.

Each class includes a variety of ballet steps with a focus on these movements:


Week of Dec 15 - Releve & Bouree Walks

Week of Dec 22 - NO CLASS

Week of Dec 29 - Passe & Arabesque

Week of Jan 5 - Skating & Pique

Week of Jan 12 - Saute & March

Week of Jan 19 - Skip & Echappe

Week of Jan 26 - Passe Walk & Gallop

Week of Feb 2 - Step Kick & Cat Step

Week of Feb 9 - Dancing with a Prop

Week of Feb 16 - Ballet Posture & Curtsy

Week of Feb 23 - Plies & Tendu

There are 10 weeks of lessons which will repeat after the 10th lesson. Repetition is important at this age, so your child may join for more than one rotation if they wish (questions of the week and dance games rotate through two cycles) or switch to Fairytale weekly ballet.

Sibling and financial hardship discounts: If you would like to enroll an additional child, I offer $5 off the weekly price for each additional child sent as a refund after each class. Please send me a message to request this discount.

If you are experiencing financial hardship and want to enroll your child in this class, please send me a message.

// Other class options //
If your child likes fairytales and dressing up, I offer a similar weekly Fairytale Beginner Ballet class.

// MUTING //
I will mute your child when music is playing so there is no strange audio feedback. I may need to mute your learner at other times if there is any background noise.

Your child can unmute themselves to ask questions at the start and end of the class or during water breaks. Please be aware that they may need some help. They will have to accept the “unmute” on their screen.

//ON-SCREEN SAFETY//
Only the registered learner is allowed to be on screen as per the Outschool safety policy. Caregivers, older/younger siblings and adults should try to stay off the screen as much as possible for the learners’ safety. If you need to help your child with the mute or unmute button, please try to stay off to the side. 

//SIBLINGS//
Enrolled siblings are allowed to share a screen as long as they are both registered for the class in order to be fair to the other learners.

//REFUNDS AND TRANSFERS//
This class follows Outschool's standard refund policy for weekly classes: "Cancel anytime. No refunds for past payments. Most recent payment can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase and prior to the first meeting of the payment period."

Transfers: If you need to transfer BEFORE the class starts, please send me a transfer request and I will do my best to accommodate it.

Refunds: I DO NOT provide refunds for missed classes. If you know your child needs to miss a class, you can pause their subscription. If you miss a class because of an unplanned absence or illness, you can request the class recording. Due to Outschool policy, it may not be possible to share the recording if there are unverified learners signed up for the class who do not attend that week. This is to protect the safety of all learners.

**I teach from Australia so please check the time carefully (AM OR PM) when signing up.**
