The lesson concludes with a brief stretching session for the hamstrings, calves, and ankles.

This class is only for students in Adult Level 3.

Ballet gymnastics, also known as parterre barre or Knyazev gymnastics, was pioneered by Russian dancer and teacher Boris Knyazev, who introduced the method in 1937 at his Knyazev Paris School. Decades later, instructor V. A. Popov expanded and popularized the technique in 1975 in Russia, developing it into a structured system for improving flexibility, turnout, and joint mobility—key components of classical ballet training.



This practice complements ballet classes by helping students prepare their bodies for the demands of dance. Exercises are tailored to individual skill levels, offering encouragement and accessibility to all participants, regardless of their experience.

A typical session begins with a warm-up to prepare the body for movement. This is followed by exercises performed on the floor to enhance flexibility and strength. Additional exercises lying on the back, stomach, or sides target the core, back, and lateral muscles, improving coordination and mobility. Stretching and jumping exercises are included to increase muscle elasticity and build stamina.

Each session lasts one hour, allowing for comprehensive engagement of all necessary muscle groups. Ballet gymnastics promotes better posture, increased muscle and ligament elasticity, and stamina, making it an excellent addition to ballet training or a standalone class for those looking to improve their physical well-being.

Stretching & Flexibility is a full-body flexibility and mobility class developed in-house to support dancers in increasing range of motion, releasing tension, and building long-term flexibility. Designed to complement ballet and movement training, this class progresses from standing work to deep mat-based stretches, focusing on safe alignment, muscular activation, and breath.

The class begins standing, with roll-downs, side leans, and spinal articulation to mobilize the back and hips. Shoulder circles, arm rotations, neck tilts, and gentle head rolls release upper body tension. Foot articulation and ankle rolls are used to prepare the lower legs, followed by deep hip stretches like pulsing side leans, table-top forward bends, and hamstring release in folded positions.

On the mat, the class transitions into a series of grounded exercises to open the spine, hips, and legs. Movements include cat-dog, cobra, frozen frog, boat pose, hip circles, and seated folds. Signature stretches such as butterfly with forward lean, lotus curls, and pigeon variations help deepen hip flexibility. Band-assisted stretches target the hamstrings and inner thighs, progressing toward middle splits, front splits, and frog. Final seated or reclining postures are used to release remaining tension and support relaxation.

This class is suitable for all levels and can be taken regularly to improve mobility, support recovery, and increase flexibility across the full body. Whether you’re working toward a split or simply looking to move more freely, this class offers a clear, progressive structure in a calm and supportive environment.

Developed by fitness expert Leah Sarago in the early 2010s, Ballet Body blends classical ballet, yoga, and Pilates into a fluid, low-impact conditioning program. With a background in dance and exercise science, Sarago created the method to sculpt lean, elongated muscles while emphasizing posture, flexibility, and muscular control.

Each class begins with a full-body warm-up to activate the core and promote joint mobility. This is followed by upper-body mat work using bodyweight, featuring exercises such as planks, traditional and arabesque push-ups, and fluid arm movements inspired by ballet’s port de bras. Lower-body work takes place at the barre, incorporating plié squats, passé leg lifts, attitude pulses, and extended isometric holds to deeply engage the glutes, hips, and thighs. The core section on the mat includes abdominal curls, oblique twists, and plank variations such as side planks and forearm planks with leg lifts, all targeting the “six-pack” muscles and deep stabilizers for total core development.

The class concludes with a cool-down and stretch component that draws from both yoga and ballet, helping to relax worked muscles and improve flexibility. This includes forward folds for the hamstrings, hip opener stretches, and upper-body stretches drawn from ballet’s port de bras for the arms and shoulders.

Ballet Body offers a full-body toning experience—from sculpted arms and a strong core to firm, lean legs—using only minimal equipment. It is gentle on the joints thanks to its low-impact format, while still delivering an intense, sweat-inducing workout. Emphasizing proper alignment and controlled movement, the class builds not just strength, but also balance and posture. The dedicated stretching enhances flexibility and reduces the risk of injury, supporting long-term mobility and a dancer’s aesthetic.

Inspired by the original New York City Ballet Workout developed in the 1990s under Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins and introduced in the 1997 book and DVD series, this class is based on “fifty stretches and exercises anyone can do” to achieve strength, grace, and a sculpted physique. It brings the elegance and athleticism of ballet into a structured fitness format designed for all bodies.

The class opens with flowing arm and leg movements that elevate the heart rate gently and loosen the joints and muscles in preparation for ballet movement, while also engaging the core and promoting coordination. This is followed by targeted stretching of the major muscle groups to increase flexibility and release tension—classic dancer stretches such as forward bends, hip openers, and calf/foot stretches to improve range of motion and posture.

Floor barre and core conditioning follow, using lying exercises to strengthen turnout, hip alignment, and abdominal control. These sequences target the legs and glutes with controlled movements such as leg lifts, développés, and rotations. Core work includes abdominal exercises that support balance, stability, and midsection tone.

Standing at the barre, participants practice ballet fundamentals including pliés, tendus, dégagés, passés, attitude balances, grands battements, and arabesque lifts. These exercises develop leg strength, foot articulation, balance, and posture. Center work and allegro follow—without the support of the barre, participants rely on core strength and control to execute small jumps (petit allegro), such as sautés and other springing steps that build agility and cardiovascular endurance. The final portion of class includes a short choreographed dance combination set to music, giving students the opportunity to apply movements artistically while developing memory and musicality.


The class concludes with a reverence, which serves as a cooldown and a gracious closing ritual.

This class promotes lean muscle development, core strength, posture, and flexibility. Combining technical focus with artistic movement, it offers a full-body workout rooted in the discipline and beauty of classical ballet. The structure ensures a well-rounded session that improves cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, and mental focus while imparting the elegance of ballet. By the end of the class, one can expect not only a complete physical workout but also an experience of the art form’s beauty: building a dancer’s strength and control, alongside a dancer’s poise and confidence.

Modern lifestyles often involve long hours of sitting, leading to poor posture, muscle imbalances, and chronic tension in the back, neck, and hips. This rehabilitative ballet class is designed to counteract the effects of prolonged sitting and improper body alignment through gentle, structured movement. Using principles of ballet, the class helps correct postural habits, strengthen deep stabilizing muscles, and improve joint mobility in a way that is both restorative and effective. By focusing on alignment and controlled exercises, students will work to release built-up tension, retrain movement patterns, and develop strength to support long-term postural health.

The class begins with warm-up and joint mobilization (10-15 minutes) to awaken the body and encourage circulation. Seated or standing breathwork engages the deep core, while gentle exercises for the neck, shoulders, and spine promote mobility and release tension. Movements such as cat-cow stretches, seated twists, and forward folds help restore flexibility in the back, while hip openers and ankle articulation exercises support fluid, pain-free movement in the lower body.

Following this, students move into barre on the chair – posture and strength (15-20 minutes). A modified ballet barre is practiced from a seated position, focusing on spinal alignment and controlled movement. Exercises include releves, tendu brushes, frappé, and fondu, all adapted to support joint stability and muscular engagement without strain. A seated weightlifting session follows, incorporating light wrist weights (1.5-2 lbs) while moving through port de bras to gently strengthen the upper body and reinforce postural awareness.

The class progresses to standing and core work – posture correction and strength (10-15 minutes). This section targets the deep postural muscles, reinforcing proper alignment and correcting habits formed from extended periods of sitting. Balance exercises, such as simple retiré and arabesque holds, improve stability, while gentle relevés and slow développés engage the core and leg muscles. Pilates-inspired ballet exercises further support spinal elongation and controlled movement.

Next is dynamic movement – flow and coordination (10-15 minutes), where students integrate learned techniques into continuous, flowing movement. Simple ballet-inspired sequences emphasize fluidity and control, incorporating easy adagio, port de bras, and gentle traveling movements like waltz steps, balancés, and tendu walks. Stretching is incorporated within movement to elongate muscles and enhance mobility.

The session concludes with cool down and stretching (10-15 minutes) to relax the body and reinforce alignment. Deep stretches for the hamstrings, hip flexors, and spine help release any residual tension, while breathwork encourages relaxation and a renewed connection to body awareness.

Barre is a unique fitness class that blends ballet-inspired movements with strength training, offering a full-body workout rooted in both artistry and precision. Created in 1959 by German dancer Lotte Berk, who combined rehabilitative exercises with her ballet background, barre has since become a transformative method for building strength, flexibility, and core stability.



Each class begins with a warm-up to prepare the body and activate key muscle groups. Participants then transition to exercises at the ballet barre, focusing on controlled, small movements like pliés, relevés, and leg lifts to sculpt the legs, glutes, and arms. Core work follows, with floor-based movements such as abdominal curls and oblique twists to enhance stability and alignment. Props like light weights, resistance bands, and exercise balls may be incorporated to add variety and challenge. Stretching is woven throughout the session to improve flexibility and maintain balance, with a final cool-down to relax the body and support recovery.



Set to energizing music, this low-impact, high-intensity workout creates a dynamic and supportive environment suitable for all fitness levels. Whether taken as a complement to ballet training or as a standalone class, barre leaves participants feeling strong, aligned, and rejuvenated.

Character dance is a stylized adaptation of traditional folk and national dances within classical ballet, using modified steps and music designed for the theatrical stage. It emerged during the 19th-century Romantic era, when choreographers—spurred by a wave of Romantic nationalism—began incorporating folk dances into ballets to impart local color and cultural authenticity. These character dances became integral to ballet storytelling, serving as lively divertissements that showcased diverse national styles; famous ballets like Swan Lake and Don Quixote include celebrated character dance sequences (such as Spanish, Hungarian, or Polish dances) that enrich their narratives. Today, character dance remains an important component of ballet. It is preserved in the repertoire of classical productions and is still taught as a specialized part of ballet training, particularly within Russian and certain European ballet traditions, continuing to infuse the art form with the color of its folk dance heritage.

The class begins with movements on the floor, known as Parterre. These exercises are designed to prepare the body by targeting the core muscles, back muscles, hips, knees, legs, and feet, including the toes. Activating and strengthening these muscle groups ensures readiness for the next phase of the class.

At the barre, students will practice battement tendu, battement tendu jeté, rond de jambe par terre, battement fondu, adagio, and grand battement. These exercises develop proper footwork, arm coordination, and overall body alignment. A strong technical foundation is essential for character dance, particularly in mastering the grounded, rhythmic, and stylized movements that define the form.

In the center, students will explore introductory elements of various character dances. The class covers styles from Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, Arabic, and Italian traditions, focusing on fundamental movements, stylistic differences, and the expressive qualities that bring each dance to life. Steps and techniques will be broken down to build confidence in movement quality, musicality, and storytelling.

This class helps to build a strong foundation for character dance, providing the essential technical skills and stylistic understanding needed to begin exploring this dynamic and expressive dance form. Regular practice and continued study will further develop coordination, strength, and confidence in movement.
