Description:
Tendu your best foot forward and join Andrea for an hour of ballet! We’re all about having fun and dancing to non-traditional songs. Join us for all of the grace and none of the body shaming typical for this style of dance! This class is good for all body types, and adaptations are offered for injuries or those with limited mobility.
How this class works:
Over the course of two months, we learn progressive technique and ballet terminology. Half of the class is spent at the barre, and the second half of class covers the move of the week and a mini combo. This series builds from week to week, though you can begin at any time in the session.
*For 2023, this portion of class will be offered in Jan/Feb, May/June, Aug/Sept, and Nov/Dec.
On the third month, we learn a choreography and review it on the final week. This class will learn a different chunk of choreography each week, so please free to drop in to this class at any time. You will also get access to a Facebook group where you can review the routine throughout the week, gain access to more in depth explanation of moves, and have the opportunity to ask questions!
*For 2023, this portion of class will be offered in March, July, Oct
