BALLET
Drawing an extensive background of historical ballet technique and training, our ballet program teaches a melting pot of traditional esthetics with a focus on proper alignment, safe execution, graceful carriage, and injury prevention for dancer longevity. In this technical form of dance, traditionally set to classical music, dancers will learn and use a French vocabulary to denote positions and movements. The class format is a combination of a comprehensive barre, center practice, and traveling progressions. Ballet helps to develop good posture, a strong core, flexibility, and body control. Any serious dancer is always encouraged to supplement their training with weekly ballet class.

How to Tie, Tuck, & Tape Your Ballet Flats
Properly preparing your ballet flats ensures comfort. Follow these essential steps:
1. Tie: Start by tightening the drawstring on your flats so they fit snugly around your foot. Make sure it’s secure, but not too tight to restrict movement. Once adjusted, tie the strings in a small bow.
2. Tuck: After tying, neatly tuck the bow into the shoe. This keeps the strings out of sight for a polished look and ensures they won’t come undone mid-dance.
3. Tape: To keep your ribbons and elastics in place, apply a small piece of tape over any areas that need extra security. This prevents slipping and keeps your shoes looking tidy during movement.
Learn to tie, tuck, & tape your ballet flats with these professional tips from Dancewear Center, and you’ll be ready for class or the stage with confidence! Watch the full video for a step-by-step demonstration.
