Full Description
BALLET 3 for ages 13+
With Isadora Wolfe
Ballet 3 emphasizes muscular strength and conditioning, stamina, alignment, and maintaining turnout. Students continue to lay a strong foundation for further development of technical and artistic skills including more challenging rhythmic variations and longer phrases and additional classical ballet vocabulary. Class begins to explore contemporary ballet / neoclassical ballet themes. Building on the work of Ballet 2, ballet technique is learned with an emphasis on whole body movement, breathing, musicality, strengthening and stretching – all while cultivating a healthy body image and mental focus. Students may learn a ballet variation by the end of the semester. Split-sole ballet slippers are required. Hair shall be in a bun or high ponytail (if applicable) so the alignment of the student’s neck is visible. Please see Pulse’s dress code for more specifics.
