Classical Ballet:
• Junior (Sat 12:00pm-1:00pm)
• Intermediate (Sat 12:00pm-1:00pm)
• Senior (Tues 6:00pm-8:00pm)
Classical ballet is the most formal of the ballet styles; it adheres to traditional ballet technique.
In general, referring to the execution of dance, a dancer with good technique requires good alignment and turnout. Where alignment refers to the dancer's ability to keep the head, shoulders, and hips aligned vertically, turnout refers to the dancer's ability to complete movements with the legs rotated outward. This can be in areas such as clean footwork, graceful port de bras (carriage of the arms), and overall correct positions and lines/angles.
Ballet technique can refer to the foundational principles and steps on which ballet steps are built. These foundational principles and steps include "pulling up" (a popular term used to describe proper posture and lifting the muscles so as to increase turnout, quantity and quality of turns, and proper alignment), posture, pointing the toe, and flexibility.
Technique may also refer more generally to a dancer's training and ability. Ballet puts great emphasis on the method and execution of movement.
The Classical Ballet Syllabus also includes Contemporary dance and National Dance.
