helping to promote ballet
Ballet exercises work on developing core strength and balance. Ballet lessons will be built around learning all of the basic positions that all Ballet Dancers learn. Once these are mastered we can put these positions together in the Ballet Class and start to work towards actual Ballet routines. Ballet Dancers after a period of time will gain a great level of fitness, a higher level of stamina and find posture improving at the same time. Of course its not all about the Ballet Class, its a great chance to meet and socialise as well.
As all classes are held in our private studio, nobody needs to worry anybody looking in on lessons and of course we will work at a pace that suits you, to ensure you gain the most from Ballet.
