BALLET
About the Course
Ballet is a classical dance form that emphasizes grace, precision, and disciplined technique. It develops core strength, balance, and flexibility through structured exercises. At Charade, we focus on Joffrey Ballet barre to build foundational skills while blending traditional techniques with modern influences. In the center and across the floor, we teach the Balanchine style, known for its speed, fluidity, and expressive movements. This unique approach emphasizes musicality, intricate footwork, and dynamic lines, offering students a challenging yet enriching experience that balances artistry and athleticism.
