So would you all like to know the best kept secret at the studio? It’s Ballet Fit. And it’s every Tuesday from 6:30 – 8:00PM. Ever dreamed of trying ballet but was dissapointed the only classes seemed to be 13 and under? Well Ballet Fit takes a different spin on ballet, an all-levels-friendly approach, whether you’ve practiced long ago or only just thought about it now, we’ll meet you where you’re at and we’ll have fun doing it. Ballet is a discipline of strength and grace, not just flexibility like we all tend to fall into with yoga and dance sometimes. If your yoga’s just not been flow-y enough, come try see how some dance feels in your body!
