Adult Class Descriptions

ballet

introduction to ballet

Whether it’s your first dance class or you’re revisiting ballet, this class offers a welcoming and supportive environment to explore the basics of ballet. We spend 30-40 minutes at the barre focusing on foundational movements like pliés, tendus, degagés, rond de jambes, and more. The rest of the class will be center work which may include adagio, tendus, across the floor exercises, small jumps, and a grande allegro when time permits. Ballet is challenging, even in an intro class, but with patience and persistence, progress will come. This class is designed as an introduction level of ballet and there is always room for questions and adjustments to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident as they learn!

BEGINNER BALLET

contemporary

beginner contemporary

Beginner Contemporary is an opportunity for dancers to explore release technique, improvisation, and choreography with a strong emphasis on musicality, contrasting movement qualities, and fluidity in movement. We will begin class with a choreographed warm up to prepare us for phrase work. We will then experiment with across the floor progressions, incorporating suspension and spirals, fall and recovery, and improvisation. The second half of class will be dedicated to phrase work in the center.

beginner/intermediate contemporary

Class will begin with a ground-up warm-up focused on breath, flow, and stability, and will fade into an improvisational exercise exploring the intricacies of spiral, isolation, and artistry. Following warm up will be a technical and traveling progression across the floor. The class will culminate in a phrase/combination to a specific song of choice, often marrying the ideas played with in class to musicality. Class will end in a mind and body cool-down

heels

Heels is designed for students to discover the power of strutting in heels with confidence and can improve balance, coordination, and muscle control. This all-levels class is a safe space designed to help dancers and hobbyists alike develop technique and performance presence in heels, while improving self-confidence for the real world. Students will receive a brief five-minute warm-up (in socks or barefoot!) that will get them comfortable walking in heels. We will then dive into a ten-minute, full-body stretch to get your muscles prepared to werk. Every class, you will learn how to properly walk in heels across the floor, followed by a short combo for the remainder of class with a focus on musicality, lines, grooves, hair whips, and floor work.

The class environment is designed to help you tap into your sensuality and self-expression as you
glide across the floor.

LGBTQIA+ friendly! Kneepads are highly encouraged
