Start here if you're a newbie wanting an introduction to Adult Ballet. Our Beginners syllabus will cover many ballet basics including:

Adult Ballet is the perfect complement to your pole and/or dance classes. All movements combine dance and conditioning, by working through fundamental ballet positions and sequences, hand/feet positioning, posture and alignment. You will work on lines, fluidity of the arms and carriage of the body through various short series of movements done to music.
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites and this class is open to absolute beginners / first-timers, no experience needed. You do not need to have a dance background or meet any fitness requirement.
Please note, however, that if you have prior injuries or medical concerns, do seek clearance from a medical professional.
