Classical Ballet Beginner
Mastering the ABC of Classical Ballet

In this workshop I will teach Classical Ballet vocabulary - based on the dynamic imagery of the Eric Franklin method - which I will mediate with humour and dynamic taken from my performance experience. The goal is to find joy in your own timing of learning the ABC of the Classical Ballet and your own musicality.
