In this "Let's Learn Ballet "Level II class, dancers will enjoy a traditional solid Ballet class!  Each class begins with barre work.  We will then stretch and work on flexibility. We will do splits, straddles and turn out exercises.
 Centre floor Ballet technique will then be taught. Moves such as balance, pas de bouree, glissade, pique, pique turns and chaine turns and pirouettes. Each class new technique will be introduced. More difficulty from LEVEL I includes change of tempo and adding different arm movements. 
 Each class will include beautiful choreography which puts together what has been taught in class. We may even do some fun dance games as well as Ballet worksheets!

  Ballet Dance is a wonderful dance style for this age group.  It is both structured and technical, but in a graceful, beautiful way.  My class is always very positive and supportive of dancers.  I want my dancers/learners to leave class feeling proud of themselves!

***Please note, this is not a beginning class.  Dancers must already have knowledge of the five positions, plie, releve, tendu, and ronde de jambe.***
