Classical Ballet developed in the late 19th century is known for its aesthetics and rigorous technique (such as pointe work, turnout of the legs, and high extensions), its flowing, precise movements, and its ethereal qualities. Globally defined as the foundation of dance, Classical Ballet helps you obtain the correct technique, strength, control, coordination, awareness, extension, musicality, form and lightness of body – all that makes one a versatile professional dancer. It serves as a preparatory foundation in placement, technique, etc. for other styles such as Jazz and Contemporary dance.
