Ballet for Absolute Beginners: A 6 Week Course for Adults!
Always wanted to try ballet, but never had the chance? Or maybe the classes you tried were too intimidating? This class is designed specifically for you! This is the very basics of movement fundamentals laid out in a simple format that builds from week to week, slowly and with repetition. My goal as an instructor is not just to give you a ballet class, but also to give you a better, healthier way of moving in your everyday life outside the studio. This class is also taught in such a fashion so as to make an excellent alternative to Pilates and providing an opportunity to develop core engagement, improve posture, and work out imbalances. You are guaranteed personal attention because each session is limited in size. Upon completion of this course students will be prepared to take adult ballet at any studio in the city without feeling lost. Students are always welcome to repeat this course. This course covers basic movements and positions, and focuses primarily on barre work. No special shoes or dance clothing required.
Next course will probably be September 2019. Enrollment will open late summer 2019.
SPACE IS LIMITED! Enroll today. (This course tends to sell out.) Section limit: 9 students
Tuition: 1 class a week for 6 weeks $90+tax, 2 classes a week for 6 weeks $130+tax
Students/seniors/military/public school teachers: $80 or $120+tax

*Why do I give such a steep discount for two sessions a week? Because I want to do everything I can to encourage my students to take class twice a week. Adults taking ballet for the first time are having to develop brand new sets of neuropathways and use muscles they may never have never actively used before. Students who are able to practice the exercises in a supervised capacity more often see results much more rapidly and master the movements more quickly.
