Ballet Classes starting SOON!
We're at Level 1 (woohoo🥳) so let's get cracking!
From the start of the 3rd term (20 July), my offering of ballet classes will commence in Napier:
PRE-BALLET for tots aged 4 - 5 years: a creative exploration of space and development of musicality, coordination, imagination and love of movement while instilling a sturdy foundation for ballet technique.
RAD PRE-PRIMARY IN DANCE (5 -6 years); The first level of the Royal Academy of Dance syllabi. Beautiful music, creative choreography and loads of room for developing expression through dance.
TEEN BEGINNER BALLET (12+ years) for those who wish they'd tried before or perhaps did a few classes when they were very much littler and would like to give it another bash.
ADULT OPEN BALLET CLASSES (Beginner to Advanced level): Let me know what ballet/dancing you've done before - if any - and we'll take it from there!
"NEVER-TOO-OLD" BALLET for ages 55+ ... or even for those with knee/ankle issues who don't particularly want to jump and leap, but would love to enjoy the grace, creativity and flow of dance while building strength. (Tutus and tiaras always welcome 😉!)
Please message/email me (dancewithcarmennz@gmail.com) for more information or to chat about where you might best fit in.
