About
My ballet class focuses primarily on the natural, healthy, and correct alignment of the body and on coordination and musicality of movement. The starting point is always the specific characteristics of the dancer’s body and her/his level of knowledge, which is gradually upgraded through the classes. The barre section of the class includes short, relatively simple sequences that allow a step-by-step preparation of the body for more demanding combinations in the centre section, where we develop and improve the balance and control of the body’s centre. The concluding part consists of jumps (allegro) and spinning (pirouettes). Imagination and creativity are drawn into the class as tools for improving technique and the overall dance expression.
