My aim is to teach people who always wanted to learn to dance, to do ballet and to have a go. Starting from the beginning of every step and to have fun while trying, and to work up to accomplish the correct steps. We have helpers who can help anyone who has a problem. The Ballet groups are meant for people to try, and be the best that they can be at their own pace, without strain. They they can gain strength and good balance.
You will need to be aware of what is going on for you. If a person is out of breath, for example, they can just stand aside and join in when they feel they can. Nobody laughs, because we are all in the same boat. If someone has an injury, they just do whatever they can do, and only you know what is possible for you. The dances or routines that we do are for everyone who would like to be in any shows. The dances are made up of steps that are learned in class. Some people find it is good and helpful to have something to work towards, but it is not compulsory.
What to wear: Black leggings or tights (not skinny trousers if you want to get the most out of your class, because I cannot see if your legs are straight at the correct times)and a black leotard, with sleeves or T-Shirt. and pink ballet shoes (black for men). Also men can start in a track suit or black tights and a white T shirt. To start with, everyone just wears anything you can move in and running shoes, though BARE FEET ARE NOT ALLOWED. After about three lessons I will ask you to get ballet shoes, leggings or tights, and a black T-shirt, or a long black top is acceptable.
