Ballet<\/strong> is a classical dance style that forms the foundation of many other dance techniques. It is based on precise movements, strong posture, balance, flexibility, and controlled body alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballet training focuses on correct technique, turnout, coordination, strength, and grace. Dancers learn positions of the feet and arms, barre exercises, center work, turns, and jumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballet develops discipline, musicality, elegance, and a strong technical base that supports progress in all other dance styles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
