ballet classes

Ballet is a type of dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries and has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many other dance genres.

Ballet has been, and continues to be, taught in various schools around the world, which have historically incorporated their own styles and teaching methodologies, and as a result, the art has evolved in a number of distinct ways.

One of the cornerstones of Ballet training is proper body alignment and correct use of the muscles and joints. This is both functional and aesthetic, as not only would it allow the dancer to be physically capable of executing the movements, it would also allow him or her to achieve the characteristic lines and forms associated with Ballet dance. Learning Ballet builds a keen awareness of posture and also develops a graceful carriage of the whole body.
