Gentle Ballet is intended for any level dancer who wants to take class in a slightly less traditional way. They might be brand new, recovering from an injury, or need modifications for the exercises. It will not include grand plies, pirouettes or big jumps; many exercises will be in parallel and/or facing the barre. Center work will include port de bras, traveling steps and short combinations. Basic Ballet is my most elementary technique class and is the foundation for more advanced vocabulary. It is structured as a typical class and includes barre, center, jumps and turns. It's designed for dancers with little to no experience in ballet. Beginner Ballet is the next level before Intermediate and includes more advanced vocabulary and more complex combinations than Basic. Dancers in this class are expected to know the basics at the barre and in center. (P.S. - I teach all 3 of these classes! Tell your friends!) TECHNIQUE TIP BLOG POST! In case you missed it: When Ballet Attacks - Get Big! Frequently we make ourselves smaller when faced with new steps or challenging combinations. This post talks about how and why to do the opposite! ***HEY! Have YOU tried Beginner Jazz yet? Each week we dance to great music, work up a sweat, and learn some new choreography (either original or a classic jazz piece). It's so much fun! Wednesdays at 8PM!***
