Intro to Ballet Series for Adults

Our Intro to Ballet Series offers three distinct 6-week courses designed to build a strong foundation in ballet technique. Each course explores the fundamentals — including basic foot and arm positions, posture, alignment, terminology, and coordination — through work at the barre and in the centre.

While each course has its own unique theme, together they provide a well-rounded introduction to ballet pedagogy. Dancers may take the courses in any order; they are not sequential.

Intro to Ballet: Turns & Balance

Theme: Stability, control, spins (pirouettes), demi pointe and balances, and centre confidence

Focus: Beginner turns, spotting, balance, posture, alignment, basic foot positions, pliés, tendus, and barre/centre work

Goal: Strengthen balance, coordination, and body awareness, helping dancers feel steady and confident in both static poses and flowing sequences. Basic spinning principles, like spotting, leg and arm placement, momentum will be explored. This course emphasizes control and precision while continuing to reinforce foundational technique.

Who this course is for:
Perfect for adults who are new to ballet or returning after time away. This course is ideal for anyone who wants to improve posture, coordination, and fluidity of movement while experiencing the grace and artistry of classical ballet in a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment.
