The ballet classes are an hour in length focusing on short barre work, free dance , and simple technical steps across the floor. There will also be stories , usually fairytales/myth type as initiator for creative expression.
The ballet 2 have time to work on own choreography and improvisation.The barre is more extensive and usually students have at least 2 or 3 years experience before joining.
Creative Movement is the first step, very important to dance training .In this class children learn basic steps such as skipping, how to balance, body awareness in space and alot of free whole body expression.It is a very physical class and I welcome boys. I allow parents to participate at first but after a month students will benefit by taking class alone while parents are close by in waiting room.
Please tie back long hair for all classes and wear suitable clothing, leotards, tights and shoes for ballet and loose comfortable clothes for creative dance, barefeet are fine or ballet shoes.
