Absolute beginners is for anybody brand new to ballet – we start from the beginning; the correct posture, and the basic positions of the arms and legs. The class is about how your body moves naturally in everyday life and how that natural movement transfers to ballet. You will also learn how to move in time and to the rhythm of the music. There is a joyful and light-hearted atmosphere – newcomers are welcome at any time and they fit in easily to the flow of the class.
