Every week a new story will be introduced making steps we practice weekly stay fresh and exciting!
Beginning Ballet Class (5-8 yrs)
Instructor: Leslie Kettlewell
In beginning ballet class, a beautiful transformation takes place- a dancer is born! More discipline is implemented but the children are ready and eager for greater challenges. The steps will be more technical: plies (bending knees while feet are in different positions), sautés (a variety of leaps and jumps), and so much more. Toward the end of the class the magic of story imagery and props to bring the dance steps they have been practicing come alive in simple choreographed sequences.

Welcome Ballerinas! In this class you will experience the joy of dance while learning the fundamentals of ballet. Join us as we increase our strength, flexibility and coordination through practicing at the barre, in center exercises and while performing combinations across the floor. We will also gain musicality and artistry.
