Our Classical Ballet courses help improves body posture, coordination and agility while at the same time develop discipline and resilience. Dancers aim to achieve expressive quality of movement as well as body toning and secure muscle development.
The traditional style of ballet includes a well-structured, strict and meticulous technique like pointe work, turnout and high extensions. It also provides the basic foundation for many other dances such as modern, jazz, lyrical or contemporary. The formalised nature in which this art was developed means that it has strict requirements including aspects like posture, movement patterning along with the classical technique.
Some of the most famous Ballet are The Sleeping Beauty, Paquita and Don Quixote. These classical pieces have been loved by audiences for years! While some romantic ballet are Giselle (a story about a young peasant girl who was betrayed), La Sylphide (about sylph) or Coppélia.
