Combining the best of contemporary and ballet techniques, this flow style class warms you up from head to toe. You will learn fun and challenging technical exercises for placement and strength. The last part of class is devoted to learning and honing fusion choreographic combinations that incorporate balances, turns, floorwork and travelling.

You will cover:
