Victoria McConnell
Beginning Ballet with Victoria is a fresh take on the classical form. Suitable for adult beginners with or without experience, we begin with a focus on developing proper musculature and core strength. The class continues through the traditional ballet barre and center exercise format with a fun playlist and always keeps an eye on alignment, breath and integrating dynamic principles of movement.
