Early Spring 2024 Adult Ballet for the Absolute Beginner Online Group Classes

Class Details

***It’s never too late! Ideal for the student who has never studied ballet or has had a long hiatus and wants to get back to ballet. No previous experience needed!

Ballet is said to stimulate brain activity, as well as the body, and this activity causes the brain to release “feel-good” hormones like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. In short, ballet enhances brain functioning by influencing brain-wave patterns, emotions, and the nervous system.

Wednesdays March 6 – April 24/24

8 0ne-hour online classes at 6 – 7 p.m. for $226.00 (includes HST)

Strengthening the feet improves balance and posture.

ONLINE CLASSES

Due to the serious nature of the Covid-19 virus, Ballet Espressivo has suspended all studio classes . We are now teaching exclusively online.

Online classes are fun and effective – a great way to keep in shape and they don’t demand much space. For those of you with small apartments, it’s not a problem: I have taught many classes with students who have just enough space to stretch their legs in all directions and nothing more.

****For those of you who are concerned about not having enough space, I’m offering a free 20-minute trial so that you can see how it works.
