Ballet is a timeless expression of orchestrated movements, which dates all the way back to the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century, and later making its way into concert dance in France and Russia. The art form thrives on word of mouth of those who came before. Each teacher is able to offer a unique perspective on their own experience as they saw the world of ballet. The terminology for steps is heavily rooted within the French language, another part of the tradition of passing it down to the next generation.
I love the art of ballet and also what the movement can offer the soul in terms of freedom. I try to teach my students the light-hearted, self-acceptance approach which helped me throughout my career and beyond. This form of dance expression takes a lifetime to master, and even then there will always be ways to continue to grow. I invite my students to dive openly into the process without any expectations other than to enjoy themselves.
“Don’t breathe to survive; dance and feel alive.”
Ballet classes will challenge you to move, go deeper into concentration and give you freedom of movement. Your time will be used to assess your level and build custom classes on the spot. Your private session will help you access ways to build your strength, fluidity of movement and poise through hard work and discipline. These classes are custom, so all levels are welcome.
Some attributes from your practice will include strength, cardio, endurance, coordination, flexibility, posture, more energy, improved cognitive development and maintenance.
*Please wear clothing that allows for stretching and free movement. Ballet shoes are recommended, but if they are not available, bring a thick pair of socks.
