Introducing Counterpoint Ballet: a rigorous but joyful technique class for the ballet enthusiast, the ballet-curious, even the ballet skeptic.
In Counterpoint Ballet, we embrace the powerful beauty of this iconic dance form, investigate the conventions that puzzle us, and respectfully release that which no longer serves us. We know that ANY body is a “ballet body,” that the language of movement need not be gendered, and that pointe work is optional. We care for our bodies and nurture our minds. We challenge ourselves and we encourage one another.
