The focus of the sessions will be on coordination and improving posture through use of the core and developing awareness of the body in space. The class will use ballet steps and vocabulary to encourage technique, musicality and artistry. All ages and abilities are welcome, as different options for each exercise will be offered so that everyone can get what they want from the class.

Exercises can be adapted to suit different abilities, making the class suitable for complete beginners, those returning after a break, and anyone wishing to improve their movement and confidence.

Benefits: This class helps improve posture, coordination, balance, core strength and flexibility, while developing greater body awareness, musicality and graceful movement.
