Class description:

Corinne’s instruction will be covering the basics of ballet, emphasizing proper alignment. Explaining simply what to strive for in building a clean precise technique. In simple , yet effective combinations students will naturally feel the strength of their core. This allows them a feeling of freedom when adding port de bras and epaulment. Musicality is introduced through steps using accents ,that allows the students to hear , more clearly, the nuisance in the music. Corinne’s classes include some fun “ brain “ challenging combinations This improves focus and keeps one light on their feet, ready for unexpected change in direction and or body weight. Finally , lots of loose stretching to feel very expansive, to enjoy moving largely through space.
