Ballet / Interpretive Dance 1, 2, & Advanced Ballet
(Girls only)
Teacher: Xandria Cross
These dance classes teach the basics of ballet in level 1 and then move on to more complex steps in levels 2, 3 & 4. The balletic style is sometimes combined with other dance styles to create "interpretive" movements, hence the class name. As in all our classes, modesty and the desire to glorify the Lord is at the heart of all instruction. Dancers are required to wear ballet shoes (leather is suggested) in these classes and hair should be in a bun.
