Is This Retreat for Me?

This year’s retreat is designed for adults who have been practicing ballet recreationally for a minimum of 4 years, once a week, or possess an equivalent level of experience, and also welcomes dancers with intermediate or advanced skills.

All participants should be familiar with the structure of a ballet class, including exercises like rond de jambe, adage, frappés, basic pirouettes, and small to medium jumps.

Exercises and combinations will be adapted to accommodate various levels of expertise, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and included.
