BALLET!
Ballet is the basis of all dancing technique! It strengthens the core of a
dancer while executing grace and poise on the dance floor. Ballet helps a
dancer better understand how to use their body while dancing as well as
how to gracefully execute any and all dance moves and positions. At
Dance Loud Academy, our students learn Vaganova, Cechetti, and
Royal Academy of Dance vocabulary and how to distinguish between the
different styles. This gives the dancer a broad knowledge of ballet
vocabulary and helps to prepare them for where ever they may go in the
dance world.
