Traditionally, a ballet class lasts 1.5 hours. Part of the class takes place at the bar and the other part in the center. Whether you are a beginner or a principal dancer, it's the same thing!

The class begins with folded, stretched, released, etc. In this level, you learn the basics of classical technique. This is an Initiation level course (0 to 1 year of experience and / or fitness!)
We will give you a very practical example. Say you decide to start running, are you going to wait until you are able to run the marathon before you start? No, obviously! Does "I can't run because I can't run a marathon" make sense? No...
It's the same thing in ballet: there is no one who begins by being already flexible, by already having the body in shape for ballet ... it can be learned ... at any age, like the race!
Pointe classes are available by selection only. Students must be 11 years of age and have extensive training in the ballet program prior to beginning Pointe. All participants will be at the discretion of the Ballet Director.
Ballet is the foundation of all other dance forms. Strength, control, balance, line, and coordination are developed alongside musicality and artistry. The Royal Academy of Dance ballet method is taught at Dance Essence through certified and registered teachers.
We are not obsessive regarding the perfection of a recital dance. The Janice Luey Dance Co. is primarily a recreational school, with a small competitive division.
En pointe means "on the tip" and is a part of classical ballet technique. Pointe developed from the desire for dancers to appear weightless and has evolved to enable dancers to dance on the tips of their toes for extended periods of time.
Strength, flexibility and grace will lead this ballet technique class as we move through our ballet barre, creative centre practice, strength-building jumps, and classical choreography.
