Ballet Exercise - over 50s

Ballet Exercise - over 50s

Your Course
The aim of the course is to offer a gentle dance class that incorporates a selection of ballet exercises which enable mature bodies to enjoy artistic movement safely, working with any individual physical constraints. The class will be based on the Russian method of classical ballet, therefore enabling more upper body and arm movements to be used, the class will involve some warm up ballet exercises and centre work that will utilise the space and enable a great sense of movement. The emphasis is on individual attention enabling each person to develop and work at their own pace.
