Intro
This class is designed as an introduction to the Art of Ballet from a historical, aesthetic and technical perspective.  You will learn basic skills in ballet technique with an emphasis on safe placement and alignment, become familiar with French terminology and apply movement sequences to different musical tempo. Each week builds on the week prior, repeating previously covered material and adding new technical elements. Classes will include fun facts about the history of ballet, its music and influence on culture and fashion. 

Beginner
This class will move you through traditional ballet barre and center exercises with an emphasis on safe placement and alignment, core control and extended flexibility. You should be familiar with basic ballet terminology (names of exercises are in French), and able to follow the flow of a class from barre to center as well as traveling across the floor to different musical rhythms. Each week builds on the week prior, repeating previously covered material and adding new technical elements. Classes will include fun facts about the history of ballet, its music and influence on culture and fashion. 

Beginner/Intermediate
This class will move you through traditional ballet barre and center exercises with additional combinations focusing on adagio, pirouettes from different positions and traveling across the floor with jumps, turns, and waltzes. Each week builds on the week prior, repeating previously covered material and adding more challenging combinations that require attack, precision, speed and harmony.

Attire: Comfortable clothing (like you would wear for a yoga class); hair tied or pulled back to enable free head movement; ballet slippers or socks.
