Level III Ballet for Figure Skaters

About the Class

This class is designed to advance the figure skater’s artistry, as well as improve their form, focus, and musicality. Skaters need to have previous ballet experience, or be invited by the instructor to take this class. Ballet III takes place in a small group setting and is run more like a semi private for the serious skater who wants ballet to come shining through their skating. With attention to technique, form, line positions proper placement, and use of the upper body ballet will appear effortless and very natural within a skaters’ presentation on the ice. (Ages 13 and up only)

In class we focus on the following:

Body alignment

Stretching, strength and flexibility

Arm positions and quality of arm movements

Upper body elegance, posture, and position

Leaps and jumps

Musicality

Ballet terminology, memorization, attention to detail, and muscle awareness

Expression

and much more…
