For beginners and experienced dancers who love classical ballet and the meditative focus it demands. Emphasis in this class will be on understanding the ideals of ballet within the confines of our mature and varied body types, building the strength and flexibility that support the technique, and the presentational qualities ballet demands. The class will include barre and center work but will not include jumps or turns unless members of the class request them. Alternative movement will be provided for those who are not comfortable with turns or jumps.

Ballet shoes are recommended.

Class sessions will be held on Mondays, November 4, 18 and December 2, 9 from 1:30 - 3 at River House (179 Marine St.)

No class sessions on Nov. 11, 25 and Dec. 16, 23, 30.

Class is for ages 18 and up.
