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.
Improve your balance, alignment and precision, with a sense of joy and humour! This Vintage Improvers class is specially designed for those over 60 with some dance experience, who are ready to progress their Ballet technique, musicality, artistry and vocabulary.
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!
This class will be participating in our annual Christmas show!
