This faster-paced class is for dancers of all levels and incorporates more jumping. Class begins with barre work designed to strengthen your foundations in classical ballet, emphasizing proper alignment, placement, and engagement.
We then move to center to translate barre work to combinations on the floor. Center work focuses on adagio and pirouettes, allowing dancers to gain confidence and explore their artistry. This culminates with petit allegro and grand allegro where dancers explore dynamic expression across the floor.
Please wear dance or athletic clothing designed for movement and ballet slippers or pointe shoes. Make sure to secure your hair. If you do not own ballet shoes, socks are recommended.
