This is our beginning ballet class for new students. In Ballet 1, students learn the main feet and arm positions, barre exercises and turnout, balances and proper posture. In the center students learn arm movements, jump position and exercises, as well as basic turns. Ballet 1 is a 1-2 year program depending on each student and their own progression of understanding and mastering of the exercises.
