Ballet 101 is a 6 weeks beginners course where students will learn the basics of ballet dance. Class will begin with barre work, where students will learn basic exercises and also will work on core strength, balance, and flexibility. Then, students will practice combinations using these movements across the floor, and conclude class with learning simple choreography setting these movements to music. At the end of 6 weeks, students can expect to learn some basic fundamentals of ballet dance, perform some ballet movements without the barre such as a pirouette or jete leap, and learn a full dance to a 3 minute piece of music. This class is intended for beginners and no prior to ballet dance is completely acceptable. Ballet is for all ages and has many positive benefits to fitness such as enhancing posture, balance, coordination, and benefits to the mind such as learning combinations and training musicality.
