Overview description:
This series is geared towards dancers who have never taken ballet before or are new to ballet. We will be starting with the absolute basics of ballet and building up key foundational steps. No dance experience necessary!
Over the course of these 4 weeks, you will learn a basic understanding of ballet vocabulary, movement, and structure that will provide the tools necessary to take a beginner/advanced beginner class with confidence.
Week 1
We will begin with a brief history of ballet and discuss the structure of a standard ballet class. You will learn the five body positions in ballet, as well as basic ballet vocabulary.
Week 2
We will recap what we learned in Week 1, plus add on to terminology and movements at the barre and in center.
Week 3
We will continue to build upon vocabulary and steps, as well as begin to move across the floor and progress through basic jumps.
Week 4
We will combine all that we have learned so far and complete a full ballet class. We will also begin to play with tempos.
Level: This is a Pure Beginner level series. Zero dance experience is expected and welcomed for this level. If you have never danced or you feel like you have two left feet, this level is for you! In this level, you will learn the basic and foundational steps of the style. Class will be taught at a slow enough pace to allow dancers an opportunity to grasp movements and concepts. There will be a clear breakdown and instruction of movement. Learning fundamentals will be the focus of class, as opposed to learning choreography. However, some choreography may be taught at this level. If so, it will be with minimal complexity and slower tempos. We typically only offer this level of class within a multi-week series, as opposed to in a drop-in, single class format.
