Ballet is a graceful and physically challenging dance that is practiced worldwide. Well-known pieces are Swan Lake and Nut Cracker.
The beginner’s ballet course covers the basic techniques of this dance, including the basic posture, the positions of the feet and arms, and the first exercises at the barre such as plie and tendu. In class, you will also learn the basic jumps and start learning how to turn. The class consists of exercises at the barre, in the centre and travelling exercises. Ballet training helps you develop an elegant way of moving in which we create lines in the body, which in turn increases your strength and flexibility.
The beginner’s course is perfect for those with little or no experience (less than one year) in ballet. Over the course of seven lessons, you will learn the basics of this dance. You can develop these basics throughout the year, so you can continue with the intermediate course the following year.

Practical Information
Wear tight clothing that allows you to move easily. It’s a good idea to wear ballet shoes, but they are not compulsory. You can also dance in socks.
During the intermediate course, you will learn new and more complex movement combinations, turns and jumps. The exercises at the barre and in the centre are more technical and the pace of the lessons is faster than in the beginner’s course. There is also a strong focus on posture and basic techniques.
The intermediate course is open to those who have completed at least one year of beginner’s classes at X or somewhere else. The content of the course changes, so it can be followed multiple times.

During the advanced course, the pace of the class increases, exercises are explained quickly and a lot of attention is placed on technique. In the class, we work on complex movement combinations such as ‘tombe, pas de bourree’ and ‘glissade, jeté, glissade, assemblé’, which require the simultaneous coordination of the arms, legs, upper body and head.
The advanced course is suitable for those with at least a few years of ballet experience. The content of the course changes, so it can be followed multiple times.
