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/IMPROVERS ADULT BALLET
This is a traditional classical ballet class for adult beginners/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. 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)
