Ballet is an excellent form of exercise because it helps with balance, flexibility, spatial awareness and is also a great memory booster. It’s an all round improver of strength and general health and promotes a sense of well-being. The class begins with a very light-hearted warm up in the centre and this is followed by barre exercises which focus on posture, core strength and working both sides of the body equally. The aim of the centre work is to build on steps learned at the barre then put them together to form short sequences which can then be incorporated into little dances where a real sense of performance is achieved. We work hard but have fun, always encouraged by Judy’s kind words.
“Judy’s classes are a delight, each session allowing us to make gentle progress as we learn new steps accompanied by a wonderful selection of music.”
“The enforced break has highlighted how much I miss the fitness aspects of this enjoyable ballet class”
“Judy’s ballet sessions are such fun and imaginative. They keep us in good shape both physically and mentally.”
