Ballet on Saturday at 9am

balletballetballet

Ballet helps "encourage physical discipline and general body awareness and control." It also promotes "good posture and bodily communication." Ballet is a strength and flexibility exercise that makes the skeletal and muscular system stronger. Besides the physical benefits, taking ballet as a child fosters self-esteem and confidence.  Children learn to "develop social interactions and friendships."

Ballet is not simply a form of exercise, although it does provide many of the health benefits of exercise.  It’s also a form of artistic expression. You interpret each dance movement in your own unique way and it becomes your own personal expression.  This can be quite therapeutic for both mind and body.When you perform ballet exercises and movements, it relaxes your mind.  Your focus shifts to concentrating on each movement and the placement of your legs and arms.  Many people report they can actually feel their stress melt away when they focus on ballet.   Ballet offers many potential benefits for both body and mind.  It’s a total body workout that requires both discipline and focus but is also enjoyable. ********************************************
