New Ballet Ensemble: Ballet Following the structure of an introductory ballet class, students will progress to standing at the barre in very basic positions, with little "turn out." Although free movement (the opportunity to improvise) and "mapping the floor" are still important class components, remaining class time will be devoted to beginning barre work (facing the barre only) and beginning center work including skipping, chasse, gallop and ballet walks. Basic French terminology of dance will also be taught. The instructing teacher will adapt the classroom lesson plan in order to meet the appropriate developmental standards for each age group. The younger ballet class (PK and JK) will spend less time at the barre and overall ballet structure will be less formal. The older class (SK-2nd) will spend more time at the barre and they will be introduced to a more formal instruction in regards to ballet technique. Girls must wear a pink leotard, pink tights and ballet shoes. Boys must wear a white shirt, black shorts and black ballet shoes.

Grades: Pre-Kindergarten Junior Kindergarten Dates: Thursdays, January 16 - May 7 (14 classes) *No class March 12, April 9, April 23 Time: 4:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Location: ASC Room Instructor: New Ballet Teaching Artist McKenzie Day Cost: $280 *Parent observation day is on May 7 at 4:10 p.m. in the ASC room.
