Adult Beginner Ballet Workshop Coming in October

The Beginner Ballet Workshop will be a six week series running October 6th to November 10th.  Class will be held Fridays 5:30-7:00pm at Peace of Mind Pilates in Essex Junction, VT.

The Adult Beginner Ballet Workshop is designed to provide a fun introduction to the basics of ballet technique and will be taught by professional ballet dancer Kaarin Shipitko. Each class over the six week workshop will introduce new steps and concepts from classical ballet. While you will be learning real ballet steps this class is meant to be fun and give you a good workout. Ballet is both an art form and an athletic pursuit, so expect to sweat while also challenging your creative side!

Each class will begin at the barre, where you will warm up and focus on the technique aspect of ballet. The second half of class will be spent in the center learning combinations that put the steps you have learned into practice and allow you to explore movement more fully. 

As a professional ballet dancer, Kaarin has used Pilates and Yoga as ways to cross-train and maker herself a stronger dancer. She is excited to bring ballet to the community of Peace of Mind Pilates because she sees dance as working so well alongside the other classes offered. In her opinion ballet can be a fun and creative addition to any workout routine!

Peace of Mind Pilates is located at 4 Carmichael St. #108 Essex Junction, VT 05452. To sign up for the Workshop click here.
