Ballet Classes
Ballet is the basis for all other genres of dance and helps you to ready yourself for other types of dancing such as contemporary, jazz, even hip-hop. It helps develop strength, posture, grace, co-ordination, muscle tone, technique and musical awareness
Ballet at SAA is currently changing its syllabus to the ISTD from September 2011 and classes start at the ‘barre’, which supports the balance of the body while it completes various routines designed to increase strength, mobility and ‘turn out’ – (a rotation of the entire leg outwards from the hip joint giving the distinctive ‘classical line’ associated with ballet and enabling the body to balance more efficiently). The discipline required for ballet develops a heightened sense of grace and fluidity.
Don’t worry if ballet passed you by the first time around, SAA have introduced an adult beginners class, please come along and join us.
