W25 Adult/ Teen Beginner Ballet Wed 7pm Session B

About the Event

Wednesdays at 7pm Holidays: No class 3/16 - 3/29 (Spring Break)  Registration required, repeatable. One class per week. Adult Ballet: Beginner is for absolute beginners who have never had any ballet training before and want to learn. No experience needed! Ballet is a great physical activity that involves cardio, stretching, concentration, music, and memory. It burns calories, lengthens and strengthens muscles and contributes to an all-around sense of well-being. This is an engaging, upbeat, thoughtful class that challenges without frustrating the students while focusing on helping them adjust their technical placement and posture for better strength and control. Ballet originated in the Italian renaissance courts of the 15th century, where elite members of society were treated to a spectacle of dance and music. Transitioning from the court, to the opera, and then to the stage by the late 18th century, ballet began to stand on its own as an art form. By the 19th century, ballet began to look like what we see today; dancers in pointe shoes, narrative storylines, and ethereal athleticism. Ballet is a classical style of dance that is characterized by graceful movement, balance and symmetry, precision of movement, and a codified classical technique.  DRESS CODE Comfortable, form-fitting attire. Ballet shoes are best, but socks will do. One class per week. Registration required.
