Beginner's Ballet Classes
A ballet class for adults (age 30’s – 70’s) new to ballet or with a little experience.
Learn the foundation steps within ballet technique. Understand your body and how to co-ordinate movements. Learn to sequence steps, travel through space and dance with the pulse of the music.
Classes are tailored for the adult body. As we age certain ballet steps are more of a challenge therefore you are never required to push beyond your capacity.
Classes are fun, focused and inspiring. As one student exclaimed “Ballet is extraordinary!”
General Adult Ballet Classes
General Adult Ballet classes (30’s+) are ideal if you have previous experience of ballet training. Even if it were some years ago-believe that all that training will come back…
Class involves a physical warm-up, barre work or centre practice, centre work and a choreographed dance which develops throughout the term.
Students particularly enjoy the dance as every term there is a new style, new narrative, new music and new inspiration.
This class will definitely make you feel like a ballerina again!
Classes
I repeat the technical exercises week on week for approximately six to eight weeks at a time. This enables students to fully grasp the movements and technique. The steps can be simplified or extended to meet the level of each student.
As much as we all want to meet with perfection, I prefer aspiring to be good enough or making small improvements each week. We can only be at the level we are at in each moment. It’s much more realistic, less stress and by far, more enjoyable and fun!
The dance choreography enables the opportunity to experience the joy of dancing. For many students this is their favourite bit!
