Ballet classes usually follow a structured format that includes a combination of exercises at the barre, center exercises, and choreographed movements.

Practice Description

Barre Work

The class typically begins with exercises at the barre, which is a long handrail that ballet dancers use for support. Barre exercises help dancers warm up while improving their balance, strength, and flexibility. Barre exercises consist of basic movements like pliés, tendus, and relevés.

Center Work

Once the warm-up is complete, the class transitions to center work. Here, dancers move away from the support of the barre to practice movements and combinations that require more balance and coordination. Center work consists of movements like turns, jumps, and leaps, and may also include exercises that focus on port de bras.
