Class Description
Beg BALLET: In this class
we take a fun approach to building a movement vocabulary,
refining basic skills, and developing good ballet technique.
After steps are broken down and mastered, you will learn how
to add style and musicality to your movements. Special emphasis
is given to dancing from a physiologically sound basis, in
order to prevent injury and make the most of your abilities.
This is the perfect class not only for “beginners,”
but also for anyone looking to build or enhance technique,
improve your line, or increase overall strength, endurance,
and flexibility.
All Levels PILATES: Perfect for anyone wishing to improve posture and prevent injury, this class focuses on core muscle strength while stretching and strengthening the entire body. This class combines traditional Pilates exercises with contemporary approaches to strength and flexibility training for an effective workout appropriate for all skill levels and body types. Increases in back strength, hip flexibility, alignment, and joint stability are just some of the results you can achieve!
