The Raise the Barre Project

The RAISE THE BARRE PROJECT is for kids who want to do ballet. We’ll do a ballet barre warm up, center work, combinations and end with a ballet reverence. All you need is your Zoom square and a chair (to create your own personal barre). Wear something comfy. Leotards or active-wear will do. If you have ballet shoes, great! But if not, no worries, socks or bare feet will work. All skill levels are welcome. That’s the beauty of having our class sizes small, we can tailor it for our participants. These classes run once a week. It’s amazing to see how students progress from week to week!

We keep our Square Studio classes small, about 12-15 students per class so that we can see dancers, help them with their technique and so they can connect with each other to make new friends. We have two age groups for participants: Class 1 (6-11 years old) and Class 2 (12-18 year old). In each 45 minute class we’ll introduce ourselves, check in with each other and then get dancing! During the class we’ll be assisting with technique and expression. We can’t wait to share some beautiful music to pirouette to! See you in the Square.
