Adult Ballet for All Abilities

About this event

Discover the joy of ballet in a welcoming, supportive environment with Adult Ballet for All Abilities, an inclusive and accessible ballet and repertoire class designed for people of any experience, age, or physical ability.

Following the structure of a traditional ballet class, participants will be prompted with standing, seated and/or adapted movement options as required. Ideal for adults and seniors who are new to ballet or seeking a supported and inclusive movement experience.
