Ballet/Slow paced

The class introduces the basics of classical ballet at a calm and steady pace. It covers ballet movement material through barre work as well as center exercises. The classes develop, among other things, correct body alignment, leg and arm placement, coordination, and the musicality of movement.

The slow progression allows time to focus on technique and to listen to one’s own body without rush. The class is especially suitable for adult beginners, those returning to ballet, and anyone who prefers a gentle and thorough approach to studying classical ballet.

Attire: a fitted dance outfit and soft ballet slippers. For the upper body, you may choose, for example, a leotard or a fitted top, and for the lower body, ballet tights, leggings, a ballet skirt, or fitted shorts/tights. Men and others with a male-type body are encouraged to explore support shorts or support belt options. Make use of the expertise of dancewear shops when selecting suitable training attire.
