Ballet IA introduces students to the foundational principles of classical ballet, focusing on posture, alignment, core strength, and the basic positions of the arms and feet. Dancers will build discipline, coordination, and grace while developing essential ballet technique.

Students will progress through structured barre work to build strength and stability, followed by center exercises including simple adagios, turns, and traveling steps. Emphasis is placed on musicality, precision, and connecting movement to rhythm and phrasing.

By the end of the course, students will demonstrate improved posture, strength, terminology knowledge, and foundational technique, preparing them for continued growth in classical ballet training.
