Ballet is an important foundation for all idioms of dance.  It is the basis
from which technique comes from.  The ballet classes at Center Stage
do not simply focus on one specific style or ballet technique.  Instead,

specific syllabus.  Dancers begin at the barre which is followed by
traveling work, centre work, adagio, and allegro.

Ballet Fitness Fusion is a total body workout combining ballet
fundamentals, cardio and strength training. You do not need any

exercises designed to increase the heart rate and to tone and lengthen
the muscles. The second half of the class will take place on a yoga mat
in the center of the floor. Here we will do stretching and strengthening
exercises. All of the strengthening exercises are done using your own
body weight and the result is lean, toned, muscles similar to those of a
professional dancer. All of these exercises are done to upbeat and
popular radio hits to keep the energy up for the entire class. The benefits
