Welcome to Level I Ballet Technique: Lesson 4 Center Practice without Intros or Talking | Ballet for All Ages
Join me for the very fourth lesson of this Level I Ballet Technique series! In this course, I blend the rich traditions of Vaganova and Balanchine training, drawing from my years of experience working with world-class teachers in Southern California. These techniques provide the foundation of our training, while I also incorporate somatic learning and inclusive teaching practices to ensure ballet is accessible to all.
Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to dance, this series is designed with YOU in mind. I approach teaching adult learners with the same care, detail, and patience I would give to a young student. No step is skipped, and I'm dedicated to making sure you gain a strong understanding of ballet, no matter your age or experience.
Ballet is for everyone, and I'm excited to guide you on your journey toward building strength, grace, and skill. Let’s get started!
