Ballet 2

About the Class

Dance 2: Ballet (Intermediate)   Fridays 6 - 7 pm Develop Your Inner Ballerina   Feel elegant and empowered as you learn to move with grace, control, and refinement. Ballet is the building block for nearly every style of dance, creating harmonious lines with the arms and legs, from tips of fingers to toes! Grow from the basics covered in Level 1, covering Ballet principles, terminology, positions, posture, and movements. We utilize our building blocks to develop more strength, posture, and balance. You might enter class feeling human, but you will exit - a joyful dancer! Great for experienced dancers or those who have taken the Level 1 class for 4 weeks or more.   ****** Maggi Soluna    A passionate life-long dancer, performer, instructor, and producer, Maggi is in love with spreading and sharing the art of dance.
