The program for these levels is designed to introduce the Adult Students to the basics of the classical ballet technique using the Vaganova style of ballet instruction. The Students will learn basic Barre, Center with simple Adagio, Small and Big Allegro as well as movements across the floor (Jumps and Turns using the diagonal of the classroom). The  dance combinations will be presented in a simple but still challenging manner to prepare the Students for the Intermediate ballet levels. The Beginning levels are:

• Adult Ballet Beginning level 1
• Adult Ballet Beginning level 2
• Adult Ballet Beginning level 3

Beginning Tap - Adults

Beginner levels are a great way for first time adult tappers to explore rhythms and sounds.  The Adult Students taking these classes will be able to identify, utilize, and demonstrate tap terminology. They will be able to combine several tap techniques to create their own combinations. The main goals of the Beginning levels are:

·        To become comfortable with this art form and learn about the great American tap legacy;

·        To strengthen leg muscles;

·        To develop good sense for rhythm and basic movement coordination.

The end of class will include a cool down stretch so your calf muscles do not ache in the morning!
