Ballet 1 - Intergenerational

Improve your fitness, strength, and flexibility with adult ballet in a fun, supportive, and community-focused setting—no tutu required! Whether you're brand new, returning after a break, or looking for a local alternative to city studios with city parking, we have a class for you! With multiple levels and schedules, our professionally trained instructors help you build technique, prevent injury, and enjoy the many physical and mental benefits of ballet. You will also get the opportunity to build community and friendships in a healthy and welcoming environment.

Ballet 1 Specifics:

Ready to build on your ballet basics? Ballet 1 is perfect for those who have completed Intro to Ballet or who have a solid grasp of foundational barre steps (plies, tendus, developpés, etc.). Continue developing technique, alignment, and artistry with individual corrections in an encouraging and welcoming setting. You will learn new barre and center steps, and begin incorporating more complex movements and arm positions (port de bras). This beginner-intermediate level class is also ideal for returning or advanced dancers looking to improve form in a slower-paced setting. Attend in person, online via Zoom, or a mix of both. Students ages 13 + may attend this class.
