Class Format


          Classes begin with a tension relieving five minute warm-up for those accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle. The fundamental technique is carefully explained, demonstrated, and correlated with Ballet terminology.

           A complete barre is a minimum of an hour plus stretches. We conclude the class with  varied center work including a lyrical adagio, basic turns and jumps emphasizing correct placement and landings; so necessary to avoid injuries.
