Beginning Ballet
For Children Ages 8 and up with little or no ballet experience.
Summer 2008
June 9 - June 20
Class Goals:
Beginning Ballet introduces the student to the standard format of a ballet class. The students are given some preliminary work on the floor designed to strengthen the abdominal area and the back as well as to loosen the hip joints in preparation for barre and center work. Barre work focuses on developing body placement, strengthening and turning out of the legs, and the development of vocabulary. Center work allows the children to begin putting into practice the technique they are working to develop. Vocabulary is expanded as the children begin turns, jumps, and movement across the floor. Self-discipline evolves as the children realize that they are responsible for being prepared for their class in regard to their clothes and hair. The children are in the process of acquiring the tools they will need to express themselves through movement.
