Ballet is the foundation of all dance! From our Itty Bitty Ballet class to our more intense classes for older dancers, our students learn the importance of technique and body awareness through the lens of ballet.
Forte's ballet curriculum is taught by a former professional ballerina with years of instructional experience. Students will learn ballet terminology and basic ballet steps with proper technique. Students will spend time at the barre, in center and doing across the floor movement as they progress. These classes are an excellent way to build strength and grace. If you're interested in learning more, descriptions of our classes/levels are below. And if you think ballet could be for you, try a class with us! |
