Adult Beginners Classical Ballet
No Leotards Required - Inspiring, Inclusive, Artistic
Welcome back to the Barre!
Who is this class for? Beginners Classical Ballet classes are perfect for anyone who has had some prior classical ballet experience and wishes to brush up on their skills or for those who have completed the Introduction to Ballet classes and the Foundation Beginners class.
What you will learn at this level? This beginner-level class will focus on fundamental techniques starting with warm-up exercises that will slowly increase the intensity. This is followed by a series of movements and jumps at the barre and in the centre of the studio, known as the petit allegro. Throughout the class, your instructor will give individual and general corrections to help you understand the subtleties and nuances of ballet technique while encouraging you to challenge yourself to become a better dancer.
