In this ballet class students will start every class warming up their bodies in order to prevent injury. Warm ups will include a general stretch sequence as well as barre combinations. Every class the students will be taught new dance vocabulary and practice performing the steps together. Once the students feel comfortable with these new steps they will be given center floor combinations to perfect these moves. Combinations and steps from previous classes will always be reviewed in order to ensure the students are effectively building on their ballet knowledge. As important as building technique is, the main goal of this class is for students to have fun and fall in love with ballet. No previous ballet experience is needed to take this course, just curiosity and a willingness to try new things.
