Description
Beginning level classes focus on the basics of ballet including proper placement and posture; body positions, plies, tendus, battements, and port de bras. Emphasis will be placed on understanding technique, as well as instilling an appreciation and enjoyment of the movement. Advanced levels are a continual study of fundamentals, extended to emotional expression and precision, as well as developing fluid artistic control. Ballet is the basis of all other dance forms and can strongly enhance any athletic activity. We strongly encourage that ballet be taken in conjunction with any other dance class. Jazz is influenced by Ballet and styles of each decade. It is constantly evolving and expanding. All jazz classes will have a strong foundation in ballet with an emphasis on correct body alignment and technique. Jazz classes focus on isolations, turns, jumps, leaps, increased flexibility, strength and an overall development of style.
Must be 18 years old by first day of class.
