Besides the prospect of dancing on pointe, this class is a great opportunity to strengthen the knees and ankles, activate the core, and improve body alignment. This makes it a great complement to the ballet class, or a fantastic wellness class on its own.
Dance Alive Studios was created in the summer of 2017 to meet the changing needs of adult dancers in the Saskatoon community. Caelia Gardiner, the owner and Artistic Director of DAS, developed the adult dance program at Juliette’s Dance Centre from 2011 to 2017.
This program has become unique in the field – it provides aspiring adult dancers with progressive levels of focused training at their desired level. Recreational dance is the common stream, but more intense training opportunities are available upon request (group and solo competition, examination, teacher training, etc.).
Ballet is a classical dance style involving grace, precision and discipline. Specific positioning of the body and technique are learned to classical music. It can be considered the foundation for solid dance training in other styles.
For those looking for the artistic element within a workout program. You may have wanted to try dance as a child but didn't have the opportunity, or you danced in your youth and want to get back into it. Nothing exercises both sides of the body more fairly then classical ballet.
A candidate for pointe work is determined by ankle strength, foot alignment and overall ballet technique.
