Beginning Ballet for Adults is all about embracing the joy of movement and using the discipline of ballet to increase coordination, strength, balance and flexibility. Each class will progress from barre work to center work and end back at the barre and then the floor for stretching exercises. No prior experience or ballet classes required.
Please wear comfortable, flexible clothing. Footwear can be socks or ballet slippers.
