Ballet Inicial Uno 13-18 años

An introduction to ballet with beginning development of ballet concepts including turn out, coordination, spatial awareness and a specific focus on class etiquette. Students will begin positions of the feet, and introductory movement vocabulary.  The goal of Ballet Level 1 is to impart the fundamentals of classical ballet. Class will focus on basic ballet technique, proper body alignment, French terminology and musicality. Students will be introduced to barre and center work. We will be repeating alot of the barre warm ups that are introduced or center combos so that the students can become familiar with the same barre warm ups before we start the technique portion of the class :).

 At the end of class I give individual corrections to practice and an open discussion of any questions that learners may have. My teaching style is fun!, classically professional, precise to detail and strict . Learners get my full attention with discussion, individually correcting and helping each learner carefully.

Before we get started I do ask  for my learners to set up their device where I can see a full view of the body so I can make proper corrections for technique throughout the class. I also ask before you start your setup to please move any obstacles or objects out of the way for safety concerns. After that you are all set to dance!
