Adult Ballet Basics

Discover the fundamentals of classical ballet in a warm and welcoming studio environment. This adult ballet class introduces foundational ballet technique through preparatory exercises at the barre and builds toward graceful, flowing movements in the centre. Ballet Basics offers a thoughtful approach to stretching, strengthening, coordination and body awareness, while exploring elegant sequences. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to reconnect with the beauty of ballet.

Adult Contemporary Technique

Rooted in classical ballet vocabulary with a strong emphasis on torso articulation and expression, our adult contemporary dance classes explore alignment, form, coordination, musicality, strength, rhythm and kinetic intelligence. Live percussion accompanies our contemporary classes, creating a unique opportunity to develop musicality, responsiveness and artistry through movement. This is a beginner/intermediate level contemporary technique class. All levels are welcome.

Jazz

Following a balanced conditioning warm-up, this adult jazz dance class moves into funky combinations filled with travelling steps, kicks, spins and isolations. Classes are both challenging and fun, with an emphasis on musicality, coordination and expression. Whether you are new to jazz or simply want to get back into dancing, this class is open to adults of all experience levels. No previous dance experience is necessary.
