Ballet Classes In Sydney

Classical ballet forms the foundation of all basic dance technique. It has very particular rules about how the dancer must stand and move. Ballet is theatrical dance often telling a story to classical music. Classical ballet requires discipline, strength and balance and builds on developing posture and poise, as well as improving muscle tone and flexibility. Classical ballet is a very elegant and beautiful form of dance.

The human body is the medium in which the art of ballet is created. Ballet is highly technical and has its own vocabulary, being deeply rooted in art history. Ballet is a style of dance that was popularised during the 16^th and 17^th centuries, often performing alongside the great opera singers of the time.

This kind of dance is theatrical – performed on a stage with costumes, scenic design, and lighting. You can use it to tell a story or to express a feeling, concept or thought. A ballet performance can be magical and thought-provoking, often telling a story. The technique of ballet is coupled with elements like music, costumes, and make-up to create meaningful performance, that often tells a story or explores an idea.

It is a musical work that uses movement to clarify human emotions and endeavours through dance. Ballet is now a multi-faceted art form. Traditional ballet forms are intertwined with contemporary choreographic innovations to create the character of modern ballet. Modern ballet is energetic, fun, and creative and combines the best elements from both traditional and contemporary ballet.

Ballet is fun, technical and has a long history. It is the perfect style for beginners who are looking to develop their technique. Ballet teaches you all the fundamentals of dance, and the skills you learn can help you be a better dancer in any style you choose to pursue.  Ballet is all about technique, grace and flexibility. It is a gorgeous art style for performers to learn.

Is Ballet Right For Your Child?

Ballet fosters creativity, confidence, discipline, and strength. Ballet is an excellent choice for children who are looking to get started dancing, as it teaches the technical skills in a fun and expressive way.

Ballet encourages children to express themselves through movement, which fosters creativity and confidence. A child will feel a sense of accomplishment once they learn how to master a new skill within ballet. This feeling of accomplishment and willingness to learn more is great for self-esteem.

Ballet is highly disciplined and children will be taught the values of respecting their peers and teacher. It takes time to master the skills involved in ballet and we will encourage your child to be disciplined with practice. The beauty of ballet is that they can see the fruits of their labour – as they will see themselves grow before their eyes.

Ballet is also great for helping shy children to come out of their shell. Being able to see themselves accomplishing new skills before their very eyes will foster confidence. They will also be able to improve on their social skills through our team-building and partnered activities.

Ballet is beautiful, creative, expressive and fosters confidence and self-esteem. It is the perfect style of dance for those looking to grow their technical skills, discipline, and self-esteem in a fun environment. We offer comprehensive ballet classes from beginners through to advanced that will help your child grow their skills.

What Will Your Child Learn Performing Ballet?

Our classes will teach the technical skills needed to perform ballet. Our beginner classes focus on form and posture and barre work. As the child progresses, they will be introduced to more advanced skills and pointe work.  No matter what level of experience your child has, our small class size is tailored to ensure each child will grow and learn new skills. As their repertoire of skills grow, our teachers will choreograph routines that will allow your child to see these abilities in action, helping to grow their self-esteem.

Aside from the technical aspect of ballet, our classes instruct children about posture, healthy living, and mind-muscle connection. Our classes help to develop strong focus within our dancers. We are all about learning to trust your body and nurture it to become better dancers. We will teach your child how to develop their flexibility, improve their posture and care for their body.

We encourage our children to explore their creativity, and they will be given opportunities to freestyle and craft their own dances from what we have learned during term. We pride ourselves on helping our dancers develop a strong sense of teamwork, and we will do many activities throughout the term to foster this.

At LA Talent, we have a holistic approach to our dancing. We want our dancers to finish their term with technical skills, great memories and having learned additional skills like posture maintenance and flexibility. We foster this within a fun environment, that allows each child to express themselves creatively and nurtures a love for dance!
