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.
This All Levels Ballet Basics class is easy-going and focused on learning or refining your ballet technique. Enjoy classical ballet sequences at a pace suitable for beginners, through to experienced dancers looking to revisit the basics and develop their knowledge and skill.
Please wear ballet slippers or socks, and comfortable clothing you can move in. 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 a dance uniform of leotard and tights, but you are welcome to wear them, if you wish.
