Beginners: A fun class which is suitable for beginners and for those with some ballet experience. This class will allow you to gain a good understanding of ballet steps and enable you to further develop classical ballet technique. This is a mixed level class with an emphasis on enjoyment. Suitable for those with little or no previous experience in dance, this class teaches the basics of ballet technique.
Improver/Intermediate: We will accomodate those who have experience in Ballet and want to progress their skills further or refresh them . All exercises will be adapted to suit the individuals needs and abilities.
Do you wish you had the chance to go back in time and put on ballet shoes again?
Or have you always wanted to try and never had the opportunity?
Ballet training gives a wonderful grounding from which to explore new styles with ease. It teaches the dancer how to control their posture and will strengthen those all-important core muscles.
These adult ballet classes offer a whole range of fantastic opportunities, from learning basic techniques to learning exciting and elegant routines. It doesn’t matter if you have tones of experience, or none! You will be able to develop you skills and keep fit at the same time. Ballet can develop so many aspects of movement such as; control, balance, alignment, posture, flexibility and many more. As well as developing your ballet technique, this is a place to have fun, socialise and meet new people. If you are interested and want to give it a go.
