1. We start at the Barre (At home a chair or something you can use to balance)
- At the barre we continue to practice plies in the 5 ballet positions.
-Tendu's and degages
-Rond de Jambes
- Frappes
-Grand Battements
-Stretch

2. The second half of class is focused on three parts
-Adagio: Slow movements to build strength and presentation
-Petit Allegro: Quick small jumps that focus on technique and endurance.
-Across the Floor: Movements consisting of large jumps and turns.

Students will continue to learn the basic steps in the first few lessons. As time continues, we begin to build off those basics and continue to increase additional steps and more challenges to the choreography.

I am a teacher that teaches strong technique, but I do it in a fun way. I find Ballet can be intimidating, especially if you're starting out as a teenager. I do my best to emphasize the importance of great technique, but I want the dancer to also find their own passion for dance, and to enjoy doing it! I strongly encourage questions, and the students can interact with me as much as they need throughout the lesson. I will incorporate projects into the lesson to help the students become comfortable with one another, and gain self-confidence throughout the weeks.
