Class Description

I use a contemporary approach when teaching the principles of ballet, making them applicable and accessible to all dance styles. This class will focus on strengthening body placement and alignment as well as to investigate weight transfer, musicality, and how to maximize flexibility and rotation. We will use choreographic elements that challenge the dancers, and allow them to explore personal expression.
Always a lively, inspiring, motivating atmosphere!
