CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
- Ballet
- The "backbone" to all dance forms, ballet develops natural coordination and graceful movement while concentrating on the technical aspects of core strength, balance and performing skills. Our instructors at Center Stage know how to turn this difficult yet basic genre into a fun loving, rewarding class with our age appropriate syllabus, music and innate passion for encouragement. A different focus for exercise and cross training students and adults or a relaxation focus that shuts out the busy schedules - there are lots of good reasons to add ballet to your schedule!
