ADULT OPEN CLASS program
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The open class dance program is geared for dancers, ages 14 and older, from novice to professional. Classes offered include beginning, intermediate, and advanced ballet. Teachers are available to assess a student's level in class and make appropriate level recommendations upon request.
HBBSA does not gurantee pianists for any of its classes.
Beginning Ballet
Beginning ballet is the perfect way for those who are starting ballet again after many years, or those that have enough knowlege of the ballet curriculum to complete a faster moving beginning ballet class.
Intermediate Ballet
This class is designed for those who have taken at least two years of current ballet training, or completed the introductory ballet class. Emphasis in intermediate ballet is placed on developing technical strength and more advanced movement qualities.
Advanced Ballet
This course is for experienced adults and teens who have had at least four years of ballet training. This class is taught at a professional level and uses the full range of classical ballet technique.
Please note that students wanting to wear pointe shoes may do so at their own risk in the advanced classes, and at the discretion of the instructor.
