Let your inner light shine brightly! In this 16 week ballet session, participants will learn the fundamentals of classical ballet and then apply their learning in a demonstration for parents and guardians. Each class will also provide children with a variety of opportunities to develop their ballet technique, musicality, learn to move at different speeds, develop their spatial awareness, and express ideas/stories through movement. On the last class of this session, students will have an opportunity to dance in the “May Performance” for parents/guardians and friends.
