The Ballet Technique Program

The Ballet Technique Program

As a professional ballerina for 17 years, daily ballet class is a ritual I have always followed to maintain my technique, shape and flexibility. This ballet live class program has been designed to work on your classical ballet knowledge and technique whilst improving your posture, strength and shaping your body in the most refined balletic way.

The program guide is set out below, however, depending on your experience you may wish to repeat each class for longer before moving to the next. Go at your own pace once starting your dancer journey with me and please connect on our Sleek private Facebook group to stay motivated and share your progress.
