Rudimentary Ballet Basics!

THE STARTING LINE TO YOUR BALLET EDUCATION! A FUN, NO-FRILLS, DRILL-LIKE, STRENGTHENING, AND CONDITIONING CLASSICAL BALLET TECHNIQUE CLASS THAT IS PERFECT FOR THE ABSOLUTE BALLET NOVICE! Learn how to "turn-out"! Learn all the basic ballet positions, terminology, and how to execute basic exercises at the barre. Improve your port de bras. Start to gain your flexibility and over all coordination! Here are a few more details to get you started: COVID Policy: We will continue to use the general, every day understanding that if you have a fever, or feel under the weather in any way, you are to stay home. You may wear a mask during class if you like, but they are not mandatory at this time. ATTIRE: You do not need to run out and purchase any ballet attire for your first lesson. Form-fitting work out clothing (like something you would wear to a yoga class) will be perfectly fine...use what you have. Baggy clothing, however, is NOT appropriate for ballet. Baggy clothing prevents the instructor from being able to view your body line, ensuring you are always in alignment and doing the movements accurately and safely. As far as shoes are concerned, you may dance in socks or just your bare feet for your first lesson. Once you are totally certain that ballet is something you'd like to continue with, I will be more than happy to discuss where to buy ballet attire!! PAYMENT: Payment can be received on-site via Venmo, cash, check, or PayPal. If you prefer to pay in cash please try to bring exact change. Class is $18. PARKING: There is plenty of free street parking behind the studio on Griffith Park Blvd. More Info below.
