Adult Ballet Classes (Beginner level)
Rhiannon Blanche takes our Adult Beginners Ballet Class (Tuesday at 7.30 pm). This friendly and relaxed open ballet class, progresses through the foundations of classical ballet. We focus on alignment, agility and position as well as a focus on co-ordination, enabling you to the enjoy the basics of ballet.
The class will move through a structured routine of barre, followed by centre work. Ballet is known to improve your posture, muscle strength and tone, as well as building a stable core. The class is targeted towards those that haven't learnt ballet before, or it has been many years since they last wore a pair of ballet shoes. ​
Adult Ballet Classes (Elementary level)
Nathan Brook takes our Adult Elementary Ballet Class (Wednesday at 6.45 pm). This elementary class is aimed at students with a basic knowledge of ballet technique who wish to progress from our Beginner Level Ballet class. Students should have a strong postural alignment and be ready to learn more complex steps and sequences. You will learn more elementary turning and jump combinations and begin to link steps together from the barre to the centre.
