Perhaps you didn’t have the opportunity to take ballet as a child and fancy starting out on your dream or maybe you have attended ballet classes before and know how wonderful this style of dance is, either way we’d love to see you chassé across the dancefloor! 

 

These classes are suitable for all levels of fitness as movements can be adapted to suit individual’s needs.  Ballet is graceful and elegant and is also an energizing fullbody workout that challenges both the body and mind.  It can help reinvigorate the body to combat muscle atrophy and loosen up stiff joints.  Because ballet is so focused on footwork and articulating the muscles in the ankle, foot and toes, research has also shown that ballet can help minimize falls as it improves balance and body awareness. It can also help provide physical therapy for existing conditions like arthritis due to its focus on correcting posture, technique and flexibility. 

​

This dance genre is physically and mentally stimulating. When performing any exercises in class you’ll always be thinking of how to perform a particular movement such as a demi plié (keeping correct posture, knees over toes, heels down, core engaged, etc,) you’ll also be thinking of staying on the beat of the music and then there is the challenge of remembering the steps of an enchaînement (mini combination).  All of these combined can help to keep our brains activeand can help lead to a more positive mindset. As well as all the health benefits ballet is also a really fun and beautiful way to move your body express yourself, and make new friends!
