Ballet
Ballet is a classical dance form that originated in the 1500s. Our classes are accompanied by a pianist and follow a traditional structure. Students begin at the barre, progress to the center, and culminate with traveling exercises across the floor. Terminology, alignment, balance, artistry, sequencing, and pushing through space are emphasized at each level.
