Specialized Dance Classes

No prior experience is needed.

Learn to climb, swing, drop, flip, spin, and perform using two vertical lengths of very strong, Aerial Silk material suspended from the ceiling. Work to improve your grip strength, coordination, and flexibility and develop stronger shoulders and abdominals while performing climbs, inversions, holds, and rotations on the silks. Wear comfortable, tight-fitting clothing (tights or leggings, no wide-bottom pants) and make sure that your stomach, the backs of the knees, and armpits are covered. All levels are welcome, and some level of core and leg strength is beneficial.

Prerequisite: At least one full year of silks and the ability to invert from a climb.

For aerialists already proficient with silks – work on further developing skills from aerial silks skills classes. Students should be comfortable inverting in the air (both straddle inversions and knee hooks) and have experience confidently doing a few different kinds of drops. Students should have at least one full year of aerial experience. This will be a faster-paced class in terms of skill progression and complexity.

This class is designed for first time students of ballet or for students returning after several years without practice. The majority of course work is physical and experiential in nature and takes place during class time. The students are guided in movement exercises accompanied by live and recorded music. Students begin with exercises at the ballet barre designed to teach basic ballet technique and to build student’s strength, flexibility, control and alignment. As each class develops, the movement progresses to center practice and then to larger phrases across the floor. Each class will have live piano accompaniment.

This course is for students who have had some ballet training or who are returning to ballet. Students will learn the ballet stance along with combinations at the barre and in the center that focus on developing alignment, strength, endurance, flexibility, control, coordination, and musicality. Students will be introduced to muscular and skeletal alignment and how these work together to achieve bending and straightening of the legs, turn-out, fifth position, and carriage of the arms. The structure of each class, with a forty-five minute barre and a forty-five minute center, will give the student a full body work-out that will include pliés, tendus, dégagés, jetés, rond de jambe a terre, relevés, fondues, grand battements, adagios, waltzes, pirouettes, petit, medium, and grand allegro work that will incorporate large leaps and introduction to tours. The center phrases of movement will focus on the athleticism of ballet along with development of fluidity by use of port de bras and a sense of musicality. References to the history of ballet will be an ongoing part of the class. Each class will have live piano accompaniment.
