Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body conditioning program designed to enhance dance technique by training muscle memory, core stability, and proper alignment using exercise balls and bands. Created by Marie Walton Mahon, this class helps dancers develop precise muscle engagement to improve turn out, stability, and posture, while also focusing on injury prevention. Our trusted and certified instructor Erica Borden, who is also a company dancer of Ballet Florida, will guide you through a class that will support your dance journey at any level.

Tuesdays 11:00am - 11:50am
Fridays 4:30pm - 5:20pm

Designed for beginners with no prior experience, this summer ballet series will provide an understanding of the basics of ballet technique. Dancers will learn terminology, musicality and develop the skill to execute a ballet class in an encouraging and constructive setting. While you are welcome to drop in on any week, please note each week builds on the last to ensure dancers feel confident navigating ballet class at the end of the series.

This course is intended for adult dancers 18+ who have never stepped foot into ballet or are looking for a technique refresh. We will start at the very beginning and build from there!
