​Students develop basic ballet technique, emphasizing the five positions. Ballerinas practice posture and utilize core muscles while practicing pliés, tendu variations, and center work that involves gross motor skills. Students practice basic ballet technique through both barre and center work. Ballerinas learn postures, steps, and choreography of traditional ballet. Ballet exercises and routines emphasize vocabulary and dance etiquette. Like all classes, dancers explore creative expression and musicality. Although very different than tap, we encourage students to pair this class along with Tap Class.​
