This class teaches students to transform themselves as a layered response of frequency to music and fine-tune proper form through movement while practicing awareness of clean lines produced from first and fifth positions, front, back, and side to side. This class will consist of barre work, center work, and stretching while communicating the technical biomechanics of classical ballet, artistry, and musicality in detail. Please wear comfortable dance clothing and ballet slippers. Street shoes are not acceptable. Instructor: Ashe Turner
