This weekly Ballet class is for the dancer that wants to learn more! We will learn intermediate ballet technique and terminology, and how to gracefully move about in space! Class will consist of a ballet barre, stretching, center combinations and learning a short dance at the end utilizing the movements learned throughout class.

 >>Classes in August will only meet once. The weekly schedule will resume for the Fall Semester which begins September 6th. 

Class will start at our ballet barre where we will work in both 1st and 5th positions, and cover intermediate technique such as rond-de-jamb, piqué, fondu, coupé and more. Every step will be broken down so all students can be successful and understand the proper way to execute the movement. Next, it's time for center technique! We will expand on jumps, learning about échappé, changement, as well as testing our balance with turns and more. We will always end each class with a short ballet combination to refine our memorization skills and be creative! Please have a sturdy object to use as a ballet barre such as a chair, countertop or stool.

Some prior knowledge of Ballet is expected (knowing terms such as Plié, Tendu, Dégagé, as well as 1st/2nd/3rd positions of the feet.) If you have taken at least 8 classes of Miss Marin's Beginner's Ballet Class (5-8) then this is the next class you should take.

Since Ballet is a physical activity, it is recommended there be adult supervision throughout class as there is always a level of risk associated with any physical activity. Please have a space cleared of debris and clutter (minimum 4X4 ft square) so your learner can move about freely and safely, as well as a sturdy object to use as a ballet barre.

As a teacher, I aim to always create a warm and welcoming environment in my classes where all students have the opportunity to learn, grow and explore their inner creativity! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional I can do to make your child more at ease in my classes.
