The video for this class runs for 23 minutes, but we recommend setting aside 35-40 minutes to fully engage with the session. This additional time allows you to comfortably repeat exercises as needed. We want to ensure that neither you nor your students feel rushed. If you find any difficulty with executing the exercises to music, feel free to repeat them as necessary before progressing to the next exercise.
This session is crafted to introduce young dancers to the core elements of ballet technique with an emphasis on correct posture, balance, and coordination. The class begins with a 'Basic Warm Up' that sets the tone for arm and spine alignment. The session then shifts focus to engaging the adductor muscles, which are crucial for achieving a safe and effective turnout.
As the class progresses, strengthening and controlling the lower limbs becomes a priority before wrapping up with a gentle cool-down, designed to soothe and care for the body.
