Classical ballet

Course with Ronaldo Navarro

Ronaldo Navarro has been teaching classical ballet at tanzhaus nrw since 2017. His lessons include, among other things, exercises for the muscles, a refinement of technique (as is important for balance, pirouettes and jumps), stretching exercises and - most importantly - dance combinations: "Because ballet is, of course, first and foremost a wonderful dance and so it should not only be trained, but of course also danced." It is also important for Ronaldo to have very precise musical coordination and precise synchronization of the exercises with the music. The intensive physical training of classical ballet, which improves, among other things, the leg and back muscles, body tension and ultimately the entire posture, is an indispensable basis for many other dance styles.
