Intermediate Ballet - AM

Class Description

This Classical Ballet Class for Teens and Adults is a group dance class in Davis designed for ballet students ready to move forward with Intermediate to Advanced choreography and endurance. At Applegate Dance Studio, we strive to empowering dancers of all ages by providing a fun and nurturing approach to self expression through movement and dance. For adults, our group ballet classes progress from Very Beginning > Continued Beginning > Intermediate > Advanced. Our Pointe classes are often taken alongside our ballet classes, progressing from Pre-Pointe to Pointe 1 to Pointe 2, with an emphasis on strength training focused on the muscle groups needed to support your healthy progression en pointe. Dress Code: - Recommended for Women: Leotard and tights or a tight-fitting top and leggings. - Recommended for Men: A slimmer cut T-shirt and shorts. - Footwear: Ballet Slippers - Long hair should be pinned into a secure bun. AM Classes are taught by Jean Snyder. We are very fortunate to have Jean as an instructor at Applegate Dance, with the years of professional experience that she brings. Jean was a professional dancer, touring internationally with the Marquis de Cuevas Ballet, and also performed in European films and TV. She took her teacher's training courses at the Royal Academy of Dancing, at the Marin Ballet School, and with well known Russian teachers while dancing professionally. She has been teaching and choreographing for over 35 years.
