ADULT CLASSES

ADULT PROGRAM
Ballet is a classical art form that is also an excellent form of exercise and artistic expression. Ballet training encourages precision, agility and fluidity of movement and develops physical strength and flexibility. Classes are taught by supportive and knowledgeable teachers and can be an excellent way to meet new people.
Beginner Ballet I August – December and January – May
This semester-long class provides the beginning student with an introduction to ballet technique and dance. No previous dance experience required.
Beginner Ballet II January –May
For the student who has completed Beginner Ballet I or the Elementary dancer who would like to continue honing their skills, this class will build on the movements learned in Beginner Ballet I.
Elementary Ballet
This class is a continuation of the Beginner Ballet program. Dancers will develop their skills and vocabulary. A minimum of one year of dance experience is required for this class. Elementary Ballet is also a recommended class for Intermediate students wanting to refine their technique and develop their strength and coordination.
Intermediate Ballet
This class is for the adult student with a minimum of 3 years of dance experience. Dancers will enjoy more complicated exercises and be challenged physically and intellectually in a fun and supportive environment.
Performance Class
This fun program allows adults ages 18 and older to learn different styles of choreography created especially for them. Classes are designed for all levels, from the beginning dancer to the more experienced dancer. At the end of both the first and second sessions, students will present their choreography for friends and family in a studio setting. The last session in the spring will feature our adult students performing on stage for family and friends in one of Tulsa Ballet’s in-house theaters. All sessions will end with an informal reception to celebrate. This is an exciting way for adults to meet new people, challenge themselves in a fun environment and for those who might want to get back to the stage!
