Classes
Ballet/Boy's Ballet/Adult Ballet/Floor Barre
Our ballet classes are divided into three levels by age. In Ballet 1 (6+) the French ballet vocabulary is introduced along with the elementary positions, steps, and concepts that are the foundation for ballet technique. Introduction to traditional class structure of barre and center.
In Ballet 2 (9+) Dancers are presented with increasingly challenging steps and combinations as they progress. Ballet 3 (12+) we are focusing on pre-professional ballet class level.
Floor Barre class is a technique in ballet training that "takes the basic ballet training from the standing position to the floor". in this class we also include strength, conditioning and stretching exercises. Available for all ages!
Pointe/Variations
Pointe is an extension of ballet technique starting from our Ballet 2 level. Ballet and pointe class should be taken in combination and these classes cannot be taken on separate days. Students' foot must not sickle when in tendu, she should not rely on the pointe shoe to hold her up and must have the strength to lift up through the shoes and up the legs. Dancing in pointe shoes is the exciting and fascinating part of the ballet world!
A Variation is a solo dance. This class is offered to our pointe students who can show their mastering of ballet technique on pointe in the special sections from famous ballets!
Private Lessons
Private lessons can be tailored from 60-90 minutes as you require. Time just with the student allows the instructor to truly focus on the individual needs, so we can travel at their speed and address technical areas corrections. There are many benefits from this type of individual private coaching.
