This is not an introductory course for those with no prior ballet experience.
If you've been taking class with Finis at the Ailey Studios, or haven't been in class in a long while, this weekend workshop is designed with you in mind—on both days you’ll do Finis’s specially designed Barrework, Centerwork, and Floorwork for Adult Beginners which will give you all the essential information you need to know in order to make the most out of every class.
Tune up your barrework and enjoy centerwork which moves in all directions with basic poses, pas de bourrées, the waltz step, the ballet walk, simple pirouettes, chaînés turns, and simple jumps. In between, sit on the floor and do corework which mobilizes your upper body and improves turn-out.
Each day will end with restful floor stretches—the perfect ending to an action-packed day! We'll provide a catered lunch in the studio, as well as break snacks and beverages. And, you'll be able to purchase Finis's top-of-the-line instructional DVDs and music CDs with an intensive-only 10% discount.
Cost includes all classes, snacks and beverages, catered lunches and 10% discount on all Finis Jhung DVDs and CDs. Full refund less $75 administrative fee for cancellations prior to May 1, 2012. No refunds after this date.
