Ballet Basics is a class designed to rekindle your love of ballet from an earlier life. An uplifting effect on your well being, aesthetic expression, posture and maturing with elegance and style
The class is the basic ballet structure - with barre-work, centre, then travelling...all being offered with reminders about posture, turnout etc, with a focus on musicality, coordination and appreciation of ballet as a form which can bring uplifting pleasure to the participant
"Mary-Jane’s patience and skill at sharing her knowledge as well as her tremendous enthusiasm for this beautiful dance form, has made every class so enjoyable. As an added bonus, I feel longer and leaner and, possibly for the first time in my life, am learning how to stand up straight! I would highly recommend Mary-Jane’s class."
"The best ever class! It's great to learn from someone who knows what they're doing ... it's taught me a love of dance."
What to wear:
- Please wear stretchy, close-fitting tights/leggings and t-shirts/tops.
- Women, please wear your hair tied back off your face and neck (so you can dance without it falling in your face).
- Men, please wear a dance belt (they can be purchased at Pure Dance on New North Road).
- Footwear - you can wear sports socks at first (preferably cotton, tight-fitting) and once you understand how the feet need to work you can purchase ballet shoes.
