About
Our disciplined, yet encouragement-based Beginner Friendly Ballet technique class offers the student a clear understanding of ballet terminology, proper body lines, and alignment. Through repetition and gentle corrections, our goal is for our students to achieve grace, poise, and confidence along with strong technique. Students will follow the tradition of a full barre, stretch, center work, turns, across the floor traveling exercises, leaps, and a reverence in each class. Students will learn adagio movement, waltz, petite and Grande allegro through combinations and variations. Students will perform one routine in the Spring Recital.
Required equipment
Boys: Black dance pants (or tights for age 10 and up), white t-shirt, black ballet shoes. Girls: Any solid color leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes.
