Thank you for posting your ballet class exercises :) I just found your blog (adult dancer, not quite beginner but always working on the basics of technique) and wish I could take your classes :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear such a encouraging comment! Thank you so much! I'll keep posting more of my exercise to inspire you all!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are so right. I always like to add a dash of difficulty (to make my class more interesting) in the mean time, teaching my students the basic of techniques.
I love music! So, i'll never use the same music in my classes. Variations in my selection of music, brings freshness and students truly enjoy both physical and musicality.
Love and peace,
Staphanie Mun=)
