About This Activity
8 weeks, 1 hour per week An innovative body-conditioning & strengthening class focusing on building muscle-memory using ballet-technique specific exercises to build core strength along with proper weight placement & body alignment. Includes floor barre & non-traditional ballet techniques. Great for those prone to injuries & anyone looking to gain overall strength. Appropriate preparation for any dance genre. Recommended for students ages 12 & up with intermediate level experience. Adults are also welcome. (Younger students may be admitted with permission from the instructor). Attire for this class is any breathable/flexible/form fitting fabric. (Does not have to be leotard and tights). It's best to not have hair in bun because of floorwork and neck alignment, but hair should be off the face and secured, to give the teacher a good visual of body lines from shoulders up. We will begin in bare feet or socks, but will finish in shoes (can be ballet or jazz) . Equipment: resistance band (low resistance), yoga block & yoga mat, exercise ball appropriate for your height. (We have some equipment that may be borrowed, but it is recommended that students bring their own).
