Ballet Technique (8-12 yrs) ONLINE ONLY

Due to current covid-19 guidelines, there is a high probability that classes may be online for the majority of the winter session. While we hope we will be able to move to in-person programming, we are restricted by government mandates. By registering in a program at J'Adore Dance, you are agreeing to participating in both in-studio and online class delivery. Refunds/Credit will not be given for changes to programming delivery.

Gain poise, posture, and confidence!

This class will focus on improving technique and coordination with attention to detail as well as developing artistry and expression. There will be an emphasis on strengthening posture, carriage and fluidity of movement. The class will include barre, centre work combinations and across the floor progressions. The dancers will develop a strong base, proper alignment and clean technique.

***No Class February 14th***
