Ballet Classes
Ballet is the foundation for almost every Western style of dance. Each class begins at the Ballet barre with exercises to strengthen our feet, ankles, legs and balance as well as focus on alignment and posture. Center practice builds coordination of the arms, legs and head as we learn more advanced skills in jumps and turns. Students get the opportunity to move across the floor with traveling steps to teach fluidity and gain confidence in moving through space.
