Ballet Improvers
Having a good grasp and basic classical dance technique is highly recommended.
The course will be cumulative from beginning to the end of term.
Ballet Improvers is an excellent way to work out, tone and increase flexibility/range of motion.
Who is this course for?
This course is for those who have already completed Ballet for Beginners sessions and feel ready to move on to the next level, or for those who feel confident to come into a classical dance classroom environment in which the pace of the class will move that little bit quicker and cover more material. Ballet Improvers will also include more démi-pointe, adage, grand battement and preparation for and/or turning technique and jumping.
Will I need any equipment or materials?
Fitted athletic clothing and ballet technique shoes, or socks.
David kept everybody focused and the time flew. I looked forward to attending each week and left the classroom feeling buoyant and energised. Thanks so much David, can't wait to return!!
