Improvers Ballet Classes
Our Improvers Ballet course is a fun 'follow-on' from the Beginners Ballet course, enabling you to continue to master the skills fundamental to all ballet.
You will focus on improving posture and balance, developing the athleticism and grace needed to meet the technical demands of ballet.
Time to don the leotard once again and grande jete your way to glory...or finally manage to plie without falling over. As long as you're learning and having fun, we're happy.

Both men and women will need:
-
Soft ballet shoes, leotard and tights/ tight fitting clothes (no flared or baggy trousers of tops)
-
Notebook (optional).
-
Tutor will provide information on the best shops / websites from which to buy your ballet clothes.
