Classes are a nurturing, non-competitive, yet rigorous environment where students work through the basic foot, arm, and body positions to offer ease in moving through space. Working with our bodies to utilize ballet technique, students will cultivate an understanding of artistry that builds health and wholeness. Body strength, flexibility, and stamina are developed and rhythm studies and musicality are studied. Body alignment and placement are taught from a somatic approach
