Ballet/Jazz and Lyrical Classes for Adults

Beginner Course

Beginning January 8, 2019

Ballet/Jazz Combo Class for Adults

Are you new to dancing? Need a refresher course? Not to worry! The Denton Ballet Academy is now opening a ballet/jazz combo class for novice dancers. Adults of all ages are welcome, and the difficulty level will be beginner. This class is perfect to teach you basic dance terminology, skills, and good technique in both ballet and jazz.

The class will be held from 6:15 – 7:15 pm, both on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the downstairs studio.

Lyrical Class for Adults

Our brand new Adult Lyrical Class allows students to explore another dance type that prioritizes flowy movements and artistic expression. Proper technique, vocabulary, and movement quality are also a priority, as that is absolutely necessary to learn in the dance world. This class helps further our students’ education by adding another popular style to their repertoire.

The class will be held from 6:30 – 7:30 pm,  on Friday evenings in the downstairs studio.
