Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Although it is not required for this class, as a matter of beginning the discipline of ballet, the following things are strongly encouraged:
Tights, Leotard, and Hair in a Bun.
However, the following are required,
Baller slippers, an open area with room for movement, preferably a 4x4 open space, a water bottle if needed, and hair pulled out of face for proper movement, and a ballet barre or chair back to use for technique training.
Proper stretching is important to prevent injuring the body. Although we will start class with a brief stretch, please make sure your little dancer stretched on their own before class begins, in order to prevent injury.
