Ballet

Ballet Class is perfect for young dancers of any skill level. This class will be tailored to meet each student's abilities while challenging them through classical barre exercises, across-the-floor combinations, and creative play. Students will develop a foundational understanding of Ballet technique, including the formal positions, patterns of movement, épaulement, and modes of expression. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of technical, qualitative, and performance skills in a final sharing which celebrates the learning process, and the creative community. Dance studios are open-air and exposed to the beauty of Usdan’s wooded campus. Depending on student interest, the class may culminate in a performance showcasing what dancers have been working on. To ensure that our classes best serve the group, our enrollment form includes questions about dance background. All levels are welcome.
