LIVE LOVE BALLET!

Ballet Breakthrough (4 week) danceLab with Jessica Flores!
Sundays 10-11am starting October 6th

Do you LOVE ballet but feel stuck in your weekly practice?  Do you want to step it up to the next level, but you’re afraid you’ll get lost in the terminology and connecting steps?  If you said “yes” to either of those questions, this Ballet Breakthrough workshop is for YOU!  In four weeks we’re going to fill in the gaps and get you equipped to take the leap to the next level.  Whether that “next level” refers to the way that you approach your weekly ballet class (this is going to help you up your game in Modern, Jazz, and Contemporary too) or to an actual move from beginner to “experienced beginner” or “intermediate,” this dance lab is going to get you passionately engaged with technical movement in a whole new way.  

Join Jessica Flores, former professional ballerina, in this dance lab that’s going to get you feeling nerdy about turnout and terminology while laughing, moving, and embracing ballet as your COMPLETE SELF TODAY.  In this course and in Jessica’s approach to ballet we’re kicking out perfectionism and stepping into a love of technique as a tool for longevity and enjoyment.
