Kreatives Ballett from 6 to 8 Years
sharing the joy of dancing

Balancing an introduction to ballet with fun and creativity in dance, we explore ballet at the barre and in the centre, alongside creative dance. Alignment in the body and directions in space, an introduction to turn-out and barre exercises, and jumping, turning and improvising with scarves to music will be our main focal points. There's plenty of opportunity for the students to ask questions about ballet basics, and for enjoying the celebration of creative dance together!
