If you were ever curious about joining a ballet class, but haven’t had the opportunity, now is the time! This class will be an open and supportive place to try out the fundamentals of a new style in a non-competitive environment. Class will begin with barre, then move on to center and across the floor, offering an introduction to foundational movements, turns, jumps, and extensions. 

Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Ballet shoes are optional, socks are another alternative.

STAGE PRESENCE FOR ADULT DANCERS: FROM TECHNIQUE TO CONNECTION 🎭
📆 Wednesdays August 19th - September 9th
⏰ 6:30-7:45PM
📍London Nelson Community Center

Have you ever learned choreography but felt unsure how to make it come alive in performance? This four-week course is designed for beginning adult dancers who want to feel more confident, expressive, and comfortable being seen.

This class is open to dancers of all styles and requires no prior performance experience. Whether you dream of performing on stage, social dancing with more confidence, or simply bringing greater expression to your movement, you’ll leave with practical tools to help your dancing feel more engaging, intentional, and alive. By the end of the course, participants will perform a short dance phrase and gain skills they can apply to any dance style or performance opportunity.

Bring comfortable dance attire, water, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone in a supportive setting.
