In this course, attendees will learn basic ballet technique through dance vocabulary and exercises. We'll dance to popular music, using ballet to build strength, increase flexibility, and bring awareness to posture and general coordination. This class is ideal for beginners who are looking to change up their workout routine.
We will start with a short, low impact warm up combining strengthening & stretching exercises.
About the Instructor:
I have taught ballet in various studios throughout the New York, New Jersey, and Charleston areas, as well as guest opportunities throughout the country for seven years. I hold a BFA in dance and previously danced for the Tallahassee Ballet. I love sharing ballet with students to build strength, character, and of course artistry.

What will be included in my Virtual Class package?
One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.
Will I need anything from home to use in the class?
You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.
Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?
Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.
