Teacher: Kirsty Pollock (Monday 10:00; Tuesday 12:10)
Born in the Italian Renaissance and taking many turns before arriving on the world's largest stages, Ballet is characterised by precise, elegant movements and captivating storytelling. 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!
Meet the Teachers
Kirsty Pollock
Kirsty teaches Ballet and Contemporary Dance and recently qualified as a Pilates instructor. She teaches all levels of dance from Absolute Beginners to Advanced. Her class focuses on flow of movement and musicality.
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 a dance uniform of leotard and tights, but you are welcome to wear them, if you wish. Don’t forget your bottle of water.
