Class description This class focuses on Ballet barre and centre work, using the theoretical classical ballet terms in more detail. This class is perfect for those who would love to learn more theory and gain a deeper understanding of how to put this into practice as we begin to move. To participants aged 5 to 60.

What should I wear? Comfortable clothing, nothing too loose. Ballet shoes or socks. What do I need to bring? Something to tie your hair back if you have long hair.

Who is the class for? Absolute beginners to those who have knowledge and can execute the basic elements of a Ballet class and those who are happy turning and jumping a little.. Absolute beginners should expect to attend the class for a few weeks before feeling like they understand the steps.
