Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

No dance experience necessary.

Course Format: This is a combined level class, but we begin and pace the class focused on absolute beginners. We start at the very beginning with ballet foundations in week 1.  Placement and form are developed and we progress each week to continually to advance our form and artistry.

Dress Code: Either traditional ballet clothes to match personal skin color (tights, shoes, leotard, etc.) or traditional fitted workout clothes are acceptable. Dance belts are recommended for men. Either yoga socks (with grip soles so you don't slip) or traditional ballet technique shoes are recommended. They are not required for Week 1 and we will discuss and show these options in class in Week 1. If you are not sure what to get, wait until we discuss it in person in Week 1.

Environment: Our ballet class is all inclusive and dancers of ALL variety are celebrated. Together we create a positive and supportive environment in our class where we encourage each other each week as humans and artists. It is a judgment free area with positive support used as the focus of our meetings.
