Ballet 101- Introduction to Ballet

ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category

Fitness & Wellness

Event Overview

It was the object of Degas' obsession: tutus, pointe shoes, women draped gracefully over barres. Ballet has been around since the 15th century, and while learning basic skills may not make you the object of famous art work, an intro class will provide with some fun and some exercise.\

The foundation of this class will center around classic ballet technique, including barre work and center combinations. All students ages 12+ who are capable of standing and moving for an hour should expect to learn the fundamentals of classical ballet, from plies to pirouettes.

Upon leaving the Ballet 101 course, students will gain a better understanding of stretching and how body muscles work, an increased sense of understanding of this historic art, and an increased sense of appreciation and enjoyment for dance and moving around. Students can also expect to gain self confidence and a sense of accomplishment!
