Introduction to Classical Ballet
Service Description
Classical Ballet. Experience the joy of beginner ballet with fun and creative classes, focusing on proper technique, alignment cues, beautiful music, and expressive movement. In our Movement Zone classical ballet lessons, we will teach you the fundamentals of ballet, including technique and terminology that follow the Royal Academy Of Dancing (RAD) standards. Our main goal is to improve your flow and precision of movement while incorporating storytelling to create conversations through movement. Our classes are designed to be fun and engaging, with a variety of activities and experiments that will help you improve your skills. Let us tell you a bit about our classical teacher, Dinali Dharmadasa. Dinali has been dancing and performing since she was 6 years old and is a passionate dance enthusiast. She loves to explore how emotions and conversations are conveyed through movement. Her dance style is centered around feeling comfortable in your own skin and being empowered from within.
