A holistic practice that will improve your strength\, coordination and flexibility.\n\n\nThis weekly ballet class is designed for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want to learn the foundations of ballet or build on existing skills in a safe\, supportive\, and welcoming environment. \nThrough a holistic approach to movement\, the class helps improve strength\, coordination\, flexibility\, and body awareness.  \nParticipants are encouraged to explore their physical abilities and creativity through the expressive art of ballet. \nNo formal ballet attire is required.
