At April's School of Dance

In this class, you will learn beginner to intermediate beginner ballet — the five positions, plié, tendu, and relevé at the barre, then turns, leaps, and traveling steps across the floor. We work on posture, turnout, flexibility, balance, and musicality, and we learn the French names for everything as we go. Ballet is the foundation underneath every other style we teach, and it's the class that makes all the others easier. After a year or two in Ballet, most dancers move up to Lyrical Ballet on Thursdays, or into Ballet Technique if they're heading toward the competition team.
