Progressive Level Ballet Class on Tuesdays

This special term will be a little different! Throughout the session, we’ll work on a centre routine sequence that showcases key elements of a ballet class: adage, tendu combinations, across-the-floor exercises, and small & grand jumps. Additionally, we’ll work on a short variation from the classical ballet repertoire—a beautiful way to refine technique and artistry.

Making Ballet Accessible for Adults

We recognize that adult ballet students come from diverse backgrounds, with different ages, fitness levels, and experiences. This is a recreational ballet class designed to be inclusive and welcoming—so don’t hesitate to join, regardless of age or physical ability. Move at your own pace, listen to your body, and enjoy the process! Our group is welcoming, diverse (ages spanning four decades!), and inclusive, accommodating dancers at different levels within the guidelines. Some students started ballet as adults a few years ago, while others have years of prior training and enjoy focusing on strength and technique rather than complexity.

Note for Male Participants: Ballet is for everyone! We welcome all genres to join and become an essential part of our vibrant community, bringing balance and diversity to our classes and performances.
