Ballet Masterclass
The class starts with a warm-up. Dancers will learn and practice strength training exercises that develop the muscles needed for a successful ballet technique. After the warm-up, you will learn and dance a ballet barre to live classical piano. Barre progresses from simple, slower movements into quicker, more complex, and dynamic exercises. We will work on musicality, body placement, port de bras, and the importance of mental and physical presence in your movement practice. We will then move into some centre combinations created with the awareness that dance in a “home studio” may be limited by space. Finally, we will conduct a cool down by practicing a handful of stretches that will support your health, placement, and flexibility.
