Beginners Ballet Classes
With its precision and elegance, ballet is considered the foundation of all dance. This beginners course will leave you with a clear understanding of the techniques fundamental to ballet.
It will also improve your posture and balance, teach you how to move gracefully and how to develop strong flexible legs. With a bit of luck you will also end up with a beautifully shaped ballet dancer's bottom!
Whether you want to set the dance floor alight, find a fun way to keep fit or just fancy wearing a leopard print leotard, this dance class is a great way to go.

Notebook (optional)
