Ballet Technique with Kathy Mata

This will be Kathy Mata’s Annual Holiday Ballet Class. Proceeds to benefit Alonzo King LINES Dance Center.

Classical ballet is the mainstay and technical foundation of Alonzo King LINES Ballet Company, Training Program, BFA at Dominican University and LINES Dance Center. You will learn the very basics of ballet in a highly personalized and non-intimidating atmosphere. The basic body stance, body placement, musicality, and basic terminology will be emphasized in the course. In addition, you will learn arm movements (port de bras) and strengthening exercises, specific to ballet. No prior experience necessary.
