Born in the Italian Renaissance, Ballet took many turns across Europe (with some great leaps in France and Russia) before landing on the world's largest stages in its modern, athletic form. Ballet is characterised by its technical precision, elegance and captivating artistry. At Dance Base, our Ballet classes range from classical to modern, beginners to professional—but they are always inclusive. There is a space at the barre for everyone at Dance Base.

Find balance to set you up for the day ahead! From barre to centre work, our Thursday Improvers class will focus on alignment, technicality and breadth of movement. Suitable for those with an understanding of fundamental Ballet steps who want to move, improve and express themselves to music

Please wear ballet slippers or socks, and comfortable, fitted clothing so that your teacher can observe your alignment. Don't forget a bottle of water!

How to prepare

Wear comfortable clothing, nothing too baggy, as your teacher needs to be able to see your posture, and wear soft ballet shoes.

You are not required to have dance uniform of leotard and tights, but you are welcome to wear them, if you wish.

Don’t forget your bottle of water.
