Transition to beginner ballet with Ryan
Thursday 7:30-9:00pm
Transition to Beginner Ballet with Ryan is designed for students who have a basic understanding of ballet positions and vocabulary and are looking to transition from the introduction level to the beginner level with their ballet technique. The class will be at a slower pace and more in-depth than our beginner-level Ballet class for those who need extra attention to detail. Great for dancers who want the next step after the introduction level!
