About this class
This class is designed to push your strength, stamina and coordination. With an advanced class we are doing not only more demanding steps but also more complex use of upper body and head. This adds more style to your dancing, more artistry and more interest. When following a particular style, there are always foundations to be layed before we progress to doing more complex movements. We understand our rules and can then progress. Let’s dive into this Vaganova Barre, challenge your technique and dance with amazing live music from Guy Attew on Piano.
