Contemporary Ballet for Beginners

Contemporary Ballet for Beginners Floor, bar, and joyful movement The class starts with a floor barre based on several methods such as yoga, pilates, and Alexander technique. The goal of the training is to help the dancer to become aware of his or her natural placement releasing the joints in a less gravitational situation and finding the deeper muscle groups to support the weight of the limbs.The second part of the class is performed at the barre so the dancer has the chance to work with the alignment achieved on the floor. The third part, the center work, focusses on the enjoyment of movement using basic ballet vocabulary.
