Beginning with barre exercises and progressing to simple steps that move across the center floor, students will practice the fundamentals with music. They will learn what brings line to a dancer’s foot and fluidity to a dancer’s arms; they’ll learn to turn and jump with classical form. Upon completion of this course students will have an understanding of what comprises a ballet class and what it takes to execute ballet's most basic movements.
