Weekly Morning Adult Ballet Lesson (Beginner/Level I)

Beautiful and timeless, ballet has existed for hundreds of years. Many dancers today consider it to be the foundation for all other dance techniques. Whether you are rediscovering your inner child, maintaining (low impact) flexibility, strength, and balance, or if you're simply enjoying graceful movements to music, there's a place for you here.

Class is relaxed and inclusive of ALL dancers. Real people with real bodies. Work at your own level while improving your technique and enjoying a good workout... both mentally and physically. Dancers will follow a traditional progression in each class (barre, center work, across the floor, learning combinations, reverence). As we go along, we'll discuss the history of ballet, its French vocabulary, and current productions. We will have the opportunity to perform on stage (not required), and we will also discuss possible group outings to local performances.

No experience necessary, and if you don't own a pair of ballet shoes you may attend class with socks or bare feet until you're able to find a pair of shoes that you're happy with. Comfortable (not too baggy) athletic wear is recommended. This Tuesday morning adult ballet class takes place weekly at the Rhythm & Arts Center of Virginia (RAC) dance studio in Sterling, VA. Please contact Mary Shelton, RAC Owner, regarding registration and payment: Rhythm and Arts Center of Virginia. There is no need to RSVP each week via MeetUp.

***Miss Maggie also teaches movement classes in Spanish, and for the special needs community (in English). If you see this class/event listing but have an interest in a different, unlisted class, please reach out to Maggie and/or share this listing with someone else who may be interested in one of those other classes. We can work together to make those other classes on-going, available, and publicly listed. :)
