    • BALLET is an adult beginner to intermediate classical ballet technique class, utilizing French terminology and standard piano music.

Modifications are offered for a gentler approach as well as for the more experienced dancer. Split soled, soft canvas ballet slippers are recommended for maximum benefit and can be purchased on line through discountdance.com or at the Dancer’s Outlet in Niantic for a proper fitting.  Ballet slippers should fit snugly to the feet.

No experience needed.  Hip belts & scarves are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own.
