Mixed Level Ballet: This is an intermediate/mixed-level ballet class that offers students a physical and mental workout while focusing on alignment and strength building in a healthy, welcoming environment. No leotards necessary here, comfortable exercise-wear is just fine! Class is geared towards adults but mature teens are very welcome! Beginners or those returning after a long absence from class are welcome but encouraged to check out Brush Up on Basics first.
Class payment may be made in person via cash, check, or Venmo. Questions? Email [email protected]!
Kelly Silliman is the Center’s Co-Director, and an experienced dance educator who emphasizes healthy alignment, integrated warm-ups, individualized attention, and having fun while exploring movement and music material. Students are encouraged to develop movement patterns intended to serve their bodies long term, and to think about why we move the way we do and how the lessons of dance class can apply to life outside the studio. She makes lots of jokes and believes it’s the job of ballet to work for YOU. Kelly has over 25 years of experience as a teacher, performer, director, choreographer and scholar. She holds a BA in Theatre Arts from Stetson University, and an MFA in dance from Smith College.
