Intro to Ballet for Absolute Beginners

Humans were made to dance. We have been dancing for millennia. We need dance. You need dance. Find your groove and be good to yourself.

OK, dancers...we can't let the robots win. I'll be announcing new online classes in January for Adult Beginner/Intermediate Ballet and Adult Absolute Beginner Ballet, as well as classes in Progressive Ballet Training which are wonderful for building strength. Happy New Year!

Here's a great way to help a NYS ballet company (The Northeast Ballet Company) make it through the pandemic! You can post it on your own feed as a hint, or gift yourself with one this Christmas! Get them at: https://minicity.online/pointe-shoes-for-northeast-ballet-c (They were made by the dancers, btw, to raise money for the company). <3

NEW ONLINE SCHEDULE, as of 4/16/20! Science has shown that dancing improves not just your overall physical health, but your mental health as well. And since ballet is a particularly meditative form of dance, it is excellent for your body, mind, and spirit. Join us via Zoom for Adult Ballet classes, and dance in the comfort of your own home. ... Adult Beginner: if you have been dancing as an adult or danced when you were younger Adult Intermediate: if you have a little more experience and want a more challenging class Absolute Beginner: if you've never taken ballet before, now is the perfect time to start! This class is designed to get you learning and dancing, and building the confidence to join a local class when that becomes possible. Adult Beginner Pointe: dust off those pointe shoes! Nothing gets your legs and butt in shape like pointe work! All classes are free - if you are not working, please just come and dance with us and don't worry about paying. If you have an income right now, a suggested donation of $5 per class is much appreciated, but by no means mandatory. All you need is a chair, countertop, windowsill, deck railing, or wall...and your free spirit! <3

REMINDER: NO ONLINE CLASSES this week (as we are celebrating Passover and Easter)! However, I got some great feedback from last week's online classes, so stay tuned for an update to the schedule starting next week, including: 1:30 Desk Stretch... A 10-minute upper body stretch for those of us who have been staring at the screen all morning. Choreolates! A choreographed, intermediate workout flow based on Pilates moves, set to fun music to get the heart pumping, the blood flowing, and the muscles toning! 45 minutes Stretch & Strengthen We're extending our mat workout from 30 to 45 minutes. This one works slowly through control and technique to strengthen and lengthen muscles in a safe and effective way. And of course, all our adult ballet classes will be back: Adult Beginner Ballet Adult Intermediate Ballet Adult Pointe at the barre Intro to Ballet for Absolute Beginners Be well, stay home, enjoy these holidays, look at the moon, stay in touch with friends and family, and I will see you at the barre (or chair, or kitchen counter, or deck railing) next week.

Hey we have a logistical issue for today's 2:30 Beginner Ballet class. It's being rescheduled to 5pm, for this week only. Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your flexibility!
