Beginning Ballet II with Carrie Diamond

Mondays 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Beginning Ballet II is for students that have had a minimum of two solid years of ballet training, or jazz, modern dance, or contemporary training, even if it was a long time ago! More experienced dancers coming back to ballet will also benefit from this class. Due to the long, forced break we’ve all endured, we will start back slowly. Technical fundamentals at the barre and in center exercises will be developed and refined. New vocabulary, the directions of the body, adagio, port de bras, preparation for pirouettes, and traveling combinations will be introduced. If you would like to get back into ballet, get your body moving again and build your technique back, you are encouraged to join this group.

This is a hybrid class, taught simultaneously in studio and on Zoom. For virtual attendance you’ll need a laptop, iPad or computer, and a space large enough for you to move your arms and legs safely. Ideally your full body image will be viewable through Zoom, however if only a partial view of your body is possible, this is okay. A makeshift ballet barre such as a chair or an ironing board is acceptable.

Beginning/Intermediate Flamenco with Jessica Haro

Wednesdays 5:45-6:45pm

An introduction to flamenco dance for adults of all ages. We will focus on the fundamentals of flamenco technique – rhythm, footwork, arm carriage and hand movements. Each class will explore a different “palo” or branch of flamenco, including tangos, bulerías, and alegrías. This is a hybrid class, taught simultaneously in studio and on Zoom.

NOTE: For virtual attendance you’ll need a laptop, iPad or computer, and a space large enough for you to move your arms and legs safely. Ideally your full body image will be viewable through Zoom, however if only a partial view of your body is possible, this is okay.
