Overview of class

Classical Dance II aims to enhance technical, musical, and artistic skills from a somatic perspective, using whole-body-moving-thinking as a core value. This course will cover fundamental principles, practices, and vocabulary of ballet for for people with some training and awareness of textual and embodied vocabulary. Our practices will progress through barre, center, and across-the-floor exercises, always emphasizing the sensations of integrating the core and limbs into whole-body-moving.
