There will be lots of space to run like a mouse, fly like a bird, stretch like a cat, and jump over rainbows. We will dance with scarves and paper butterflies to all kinds of music. Body conditioning exercises will be gentle. Wear comfortable clothing and either ballet slippers or tennis shoes. These classes are taught by Carol Benton Richmond and Jacqueline Boomer Adams.
Classes meet weekly throughout the year, taking time out for major school holidays.
The highlight of the year is our annual on-stage recital. These are basic classes in pre-ballet movement for younger students. Exercises are designed to promote strength, flexibility, and coordination skills. Certain ballet positions and movements are introduced. Many opportunities for self-expression and kinetic exploration are provided through simple folk dances, musical games, story dancing, and improvisation.
