Description
This class is for you if:

* You wish someone would just clearly explain the basics of ballet before diving into the complicated stuff.

* You’ve tried a ballet class in the past, and felt completely overwhelmed and confused.

* You dance another style, and know that ballet technique can help you improve, but don’t know where to begin.

This course covers the basic techniques and movements to help all learners navigate a ballet class. You will learn about and practice:

* Weight placement and posture

* The use of feet in ballet

* Using your natural turnout

* The fundamental movements: plié and tendu

* The use of port-de-bras

* How to begin applying ballet technique to other dance styles

Each section offers an explanation and demo of the movement or combination we will be practicing, and a follow-along practice section. Feel free to pause, replay and try again any of the exercises as many times as you need!

You will not need any specific equipment, aside from something to use for support – a ballet barre is excellent if you have access to one, but a chair or kitchen counter work just as well!)

Who this course is for:
– Adults with zero dance experience looking to learn ballet.
– Dancers of other dance styles looking to improve their dancing by ballet techniques.
