Adult Ballet

Age: young at heart!

Adults can learn and benefit greatly from ballet.

Through the training of ballet, adults can gain an elegant posture and learn to move with grace. The exercises will help you keep fit, stay slim, increase flexibility and tone your muscles.

QDC's adult ballet courses focus on some of the exercises, techniques and steps of classical ballet with an emphasis on terminology and correct body alignment.

All sessions include a warm-up at the barre with center floor work and combinations.

Participants will develop an aesthetic awareness of the art of classical ballet.

Adult ballet can cover various levels:

Beginner

For adults who are interested in exploring the art of ballet or who haven't danced in a while and are looking to ease back into things.

Basic ballet positions, terms and concepts will be introduced while everyone builds up a sweat!

Intermediate

For adult dancers who have studied dance for a number of years. This class will challenge the experienced dancer, building strength, balance, extension and grace.

Barre

Exercises focussed on isometric strength training (holding your body still while you contract a specific set of muscles) combined with repetitions of carefully-controlled small range-of-motion movements.

Advanced Ballet

Targetting dancers who are confident in their understanding of ballet technique and principles: this class will develop your ballet vocabulary, technique, musicality and artistry.

Pointe Skills I/II

We offer both pointe and pre-pointe classes for students who are physically and technically ready for the demands of dancing on pointe. Please enquire for more information.

Ballet Conditioning

These classes aim to increase flexibility and strength through various exercises designed to target muscles and alignment used in ballet, and are a great compliment to regular ballet classes. Suitable for all levels.
