🌼 Balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body

🌼 Enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs

🌼 Improved stabilisation of your spine

🌼 Improved posture

🌼 Rehabilitation or prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances

🌼 Improved physical coordination and balance

🌼 Relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back

🌼 Safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries

🌼 Prevention of musculoskeletal injuries

🌼 Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing

🌼 Improved concentration

Beginners Ballet is ideal for those who have never danced before, or have a small amount of experience. The class focuses on learning basic classical ballet technique, including correct posture, positioning of the feet and arms, and developing muscle strength and flexibility.

The class starts with exercises on the barre focusing on alignment and developing muscle strength. An easy stretch then moves us onto centre work (in the middle of the studio, away from the barre), focusing on control, balance and travelling steps.
✨
Taught at a basic level, this class teaches beginners’ technique to prepare you to move onto the open level class when you’re feeling ready.
