Entry requirements: This course is for beginners, so you don’t need to have any dance experience.
Classical Dance still plays a prominent roll in the Western dance scene. People have been performing classical ballet for centuries, and still it has not lost its popularity. This dance technique characterizes itself through uniquely defined physical movements and a set curriculum.
You will start your class warming up with exercises at the barre. Attention will be paid to different techniques such as pirouettes, plies, tendues, rondes jambes, stretches, jumping techniques and graceful ports des bras. Ballet is not only great for the body, but also strengthens your posture and provides for an intense workout!
If this is your first ballet course, special ballet shoes are not a must. Instead, you can easily start learning this dance with nothing else but socks on your feet! In case you would still like to have a pair of special ballet shoes, please ask the teacher for tips in the first class.
Furthermore, it is important that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. Oversized clothes aren’t practical, since it makes it hard for the instructor to make comments on your posture or provide corrections. Do you have long hair? Then it’s best to tie it up.
This course will be held every week on the same day and time. If a lesson is missed due to a public holiday or other reasons (e.g. teacher illness, organizational reasons), the lesson will be made up at the end of the course. Please note that a course may be extended by a few weeks due to this. You can read more about this in our terms and conditions.
