Simple bar warmup with lots of cueing. We introduce low fondues and grand battements with a little swing, Vegas-style. You can expect a lower-body workout focusing on 'turning out' from the hips, and working the calves through relevé.

Feeling cooped up lately? Me too. As dancers, we need to stretch and move as much as possible. This little practice does just that, without requiring a giant amount of space. Come feel expansive and breathe BIG. You can expect a little bit of everything, a ballet salad if you will: stretched arms, pointed toes, and a core muscle 'wake-up'.

This class is perfect if you're short on time and want a fun practice that will get your heart rate up. We start off with sun salutations to warm up the body, then move into a flow offering gentle reps and pulses that will sculpt those muscles. You'll feel the heat in your core, for sure, but this is a full body energizer! A block and hand weights are suggested, but improvise if you need. Enjoy!!

A quick floor practice to get your body warmed up for the day. Together, we'll explore how leg extension originates from the lower abdominals. You can expect to focus on moving your long legs through space with control by engaging the core muscles.

Today we're taking it down, to the ground. This floor barre series explores slow, controlled exercises designed to strengthen turnout from the hips, as well as bring awareness and stability to your dance practice. The low-impact exercises are ideal for dancers who are nursing an injury, or those who are starting out and wish to fine-tune their technique.

A brief sun salutation warm-up followed by a classic barre. We introduce new combinations, taking the time to explain each exercise. You can expect a lot of attention to foot articulation, position of the hips, and a slow but steady workout.

A great practice for days when you need to get in, get right with yourself and get going! We open every major muscle group with special attention given to the hips in side plank variations and lizard pose with many options. Opening for the shoulders, quads and hamstrings along the way, and options for bridge pose or upward facing bow! Enjoy, yogi runners!
