Adult Ballet
This class covers basic ballet positions, steps, and vocabulary by focusing on the student's awareness of proper posture and body alignment. Standing barre work and center floor exercises enhance coordination, strength, balance and flexibility. Participants also develop a sense of musical awareness and movement quality. No prior ballet experience is required.
Progressing Ballet Technique
PBT uses equipment to help develop an understanding of your body in space while strengthening your muscles. A fit ball (provided by Ballet East) is the central apparatus used in PBT. Using the fit ball improves your proprioception, which is your body’s understanding of where you are in space.
You will develop a repertoire of exercises, some that correlate to ballet steps and others for posture and general placement. Many PBT exercises involve lying on your back with your legs on the fit ball and your body lifted in a plank position. Other equipment for PBT includes a Theraband to provide resistance and pressure and a smaller ball to help engage the inner thigh squeeze!
As with any technique introduced to our adult ballet students, PBT is delivered using a steady approach with lots of support and guidance, building strength through your body in a progressive way that is easily manageable for your stage of learning.
