BARRE FITNESS & CONDITIONING
Barre Fitness is an exercise and strengthening class with elements of ballet barre. Class starts with a warm up in the centre, moving on to a 30min barre sequence to strengthen the whole body, then to our mats for 10-15mins of floorwork and toning (abs, back, legs, bum…) exercises & a stretchy, relaxing cool down at the end. Sometimes we use resistance bands and light dumb-bells at class, all supplied by East Coast School of Ballet (however if you wish to bring your own to class you are welcome to do so).
BEGINNERS or IMPROVERS ADULT BALLET
This is a traditional classical ballet class for adult beginners and improvers. Class consists of barre and centre sequences using the 5 arm and foot positions in ballet as our basis. We build up to travelling & allegro jumps with some strengthening exercises and stretches at the end, working on posture and core to maintain stability and control throughout the class.
DISCOVERING REPERTOIRE - LEVEL 2 (for adults with ballet experience)
This is a traditional classical ballet class for adults with ballet experience up to higher Grades or Vocational level. Discovering Repertoire Level 2 consists of 3 units in which dancers will have the opportunity to be entered for an assessment or examination on each unit. DR Level 2 is set at Grade 5/Intermediate Foundation Level so ballet experience up to this level/standard is required.
Unit 1: Class Work (Barre, Centre, Allegro)
