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 & combinations with some strengthening exercises and stretches at the end, working on posture and core to maintain stability and control throughout the class.
VOCATIONAL LEVEL (for adults with ballet experience)
This is a traditional classical ballet class for adults with ballet experience up to higher Grades or Vocational level.
SILVER SWANS (for adults over 55)
Silver Swans is a specialised ballet programme developed by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) for older learners, primarily targeted at those over 55, however adults at any age can join. It is designed to be highly accessible, welcoming complete beginners and those with previous dance experience alike. The sessions aim to improve mobility, posture, co-ordination, and energy levels. Dance is rated highly for its health benefits, playing a vital role in maintaining an active lifestyle. Classes are taught at a steady, mindful pace in a safe learning environment. There are no age or physical restrictions. Beyond physical exercise, it offers a social outlet to meet new people who share a passion and joy for movement.
