All classes take place at 95 Empire Street, 3rd Floor Dance Studio.

In this class we will focus on learning and understanding the rudiments of ballet – line and placement, while also learning musical phrasing of the ballet combinations that are given in class. I always strive to give a class that is relaxed and open, yet always with a focus to learn. The class is open to all ages and I am always supportive and encouraging with teaching this beautiful art form. This class is centered towards an advanced/intermediate level. This means to get the full benefit of the class, two to three years of prior ballet experience will be needed.
