Class Description
The class is ideal for you whether you have no experience or are returning after a long while of practice.
Throughout the beginners ballet classes you will learn to understand body alignment and position, will develop and tone your upper and lower body muscles and improve balance and breathing.
You will be introduced to the ballet terminology and learn the positions, basic barre and centre exercises, jumps and turns.
Taking ballet lessons will also help improve any other dance style you might practising as it will strengthen your centre, giving you better balance and body lines.
I did adult beginner ballet here and absolutely loved it. Lovely studio and facilities and great learning speed in the class. Would definitely recommend for those looking for individual attention from the teacher and a welcoming environment.
