BALLET | ADVANCED

Expand your knowledge of ballet and improve your technique with this fun and energetic class that will inspire you to reach your full potential.

Each class will begin with barre work to warm up before building on technical exercises and then moving into the centre to work on adage, turns and allegro, before ending with a slow and gentle stretch on the floor.

Led by Gail Lister, you can expect to:

• Improve stamina, muscular strength, and flexibility
• Build on more complex sequences
• Develop balance and technique

This class is recommended if you have at least 2+ years of experience in ballet and have attended ballet classes consistently over the past year.

Please wear clothes that you are comfortable moving in and bring a reusable bottle of water. Water fountains can be found on the ground floor and 1^st floor of the building.

We also offer a Open Ballet Class. If you are unsure which class level is appropriate for you, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly Box Office Team on 01473 295230 who would be happy to advise you.
