Ballet and Creative Dance

Course with Gabriela Santos

Ballet is more than just learning steps. It requires musicality, coordination, spatial awareness, balance, proprioception and so much more. In Gabriela’s Creative/Pre-Ballet class, children will participate in playful movement games and activities that help foster these skills. This class has a ballet specific focus as it intends to prepare children for the more rigorous, technique-driven world of ballet but within a lively, supportive, and friendly environment.
