Let dance move you! Gain flexibility, balance, poise, strength and grace while learning the fundamentals of ballet. Learn the basics from proper foot positions to body alignment in a fun, creative and supporting environment. Technique: Classes are taught with a focus on encouraging the students to discover their strengths and work on improving overall alignment and flexibility through the basics of classical ballet.
