Intermediate/Advanced Ballet

Intermediate/advanced ballet is a technique class that builds upon the principles and vocabulary of classical ballet as covered in beginning ballet. Class is comprised of three sections: barre, center and allegro. Emphasis is placed on correct body alignment, development of whole body movement, musicality and the embodiment of performance style. Ballet is a performing art, and its expression lies in the proper technique as well as in artistic execution. More advanced elements of classical dance are taught in conjunction with increasingly challenging dance combinations.
