We will work on basic posture, breathing, alignment and terminology with simple exercises, detailed explanations and plenty of repetition.
Working in a relaxed sports and fitness environment, this class welcomes a diverse range of people of all backgrounds with a friendly, non-judgemental atmosphere. All ages, genders and levels of experience welcome!
This class feels like a Barre workout using only bodyweight, with easy-to-follow, simple combinations.
Starting with a gentle warmup to activate your leg muscles and find your core (perfect if you have a desk job or would like to imporve your posture), you'll progress to learning the important positions, posture and strength to achieve the basics of ballet.
This ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS course is open to people with zero experience, or those who've tried ballet before and want to get back to the basics!
Try something new, meet new people and work up a sweat with this great introduction to the benefits of ballet!
