Summer Pre-Ballet I (Seattle)
,
Classes meet once a week for one hour for the 5-week session.
Barre work is introduced for the first time in Pre-Ballet at PNBS. Students learn the correct way to work at the barre while executing basic ballet positions and movements. Posture and correct body alignment is emphasized as students begin to build a solid foundation for classical ballet training. Learning to maintain focus and concentration during class is an especially important aspect of the Pre-Ballet year.
Center floor work includes exercises for increasing flexibility, learning correct head and arm positions for port de bras, musicality, coordination, balance, and strength. Simple jumps and fun traveling steps are introduced to build muscle control and stamina, while also encouraging the joy of movement and expression.
*This class is open to currently enrolled Pre-Ballet students or new students who will turn 8 by August 31, 2026.
