On-Site Ballet Lessons
Typically running for 9 weeks with a one-hour class once a week, students participating in NPB’s On-Site Ballet Lessons get to experience the joy and artistry of classical ballet. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of ballet technique, weekly classes also aim to promote confidence, demonstrate respectful behavior and encourage creativity! Sessions conclude with a showcase to demonstrate skills students have learned. In some instances, this showcase may be performed alongside professional dancers in an NPB company community engagement performance.
Taught by an NPB company member(s), goals for ballet lessons include:
- Increase confidence in performance
- Understand the values of working hard, never giving up, and doing your best
- Learn what it means to do all things with excellence
- Discover the influence of different cultures on ballet
- Learn ballet terminology and history
- Improve skills in endurance, core strength, flexibility, and balance
