TFHAC
All of our ballet classes are taught by Annette Urbschat. Annette has taught creative dance and ballet since 1983. Most recently she has been teaching at the Vermont Conservatory of Ballet and at the Contemporary Dance and Fitness Center in Montpelier. She has her BFA in dance from York University.
Creative Pre-Ballet (Ages 4 - 6) This class will introduce young children to the basic elements of Ballet: the positions, jumps, turns and simple combinations in the center. Some creative interpretive dance will round out the 45 minute class.
Children's Ballet (Ages 6 - 10) This class introduces children to a basic ballet barre, as well as center barre and across-the-floor combinations. All basic ballet positions and steps will be covered. The children will also learn a simple dance to present to their parents during Open House. Every class ends with a creative movement exercise to stimulate the childrens' own creativity and enjoyment of free dancing. Children's Ballet will return to TFHAC again this fall. Ballet Exercise Class (Adults) This adult class will begin with a thorough warm-up including yoga stretches, placement exercises and general conditioning. Annette will then teach basic ballet steps in the center, including simple jumps, turns, port de bras (arm movements) and adagio (slow movements with balances). The class will conclude with simple combinations across the floor. Ballet Exercise class will return to TFHAC again this fall.
