She Loves Me. He had works created on him by Alvin

Class Description:
Introduction to Ballet is designed to give the beginner an immediately successful experience in classical movement at a safe pace, training into the body a safe and fundamental technique with an equal emphasis on strength and
flexibility. This class is also suitable for the older or “out of practice” dancer who wishes to retain or “reclaim” shape.
Slow Intermediate, similar in format, is a little richer in vocabulary and pace, with the aim of gently increasing vocabulary and range of movement.
The 9am morning classes are presented as a special hour concentrated in scope, suitable for warming up for rehearsal, preparing for early morning performance (such as lecture demonstration), or simply eye opener for the
rest of your day.
