ADULT OPEN DIVISION Summer 2023
Ages 14 to Adult
May 30th – August 1st (no regular classes June 27 - July 4th)
Class Descriptions
BRT’s Open Program ballet classes are intended for indivduals who enjoy dance movement and appreciate the demands of ballet technique. These classes continue year-round and are available on a drop-in basis.
Adult Ballet I is structured as a beginning-intermediate level and designed to incorporate those who have some knowledge of ballet, those who have had dance as a child and wish to begin again, and the first time dancers who have completed the Absolute Beginning Ballet program (see the below for details on this program).
Adult Ballet II classes are for students who are comfortable with the ballet curriculum and can move easily through the barre and center.
Stretch & Strength: Taught and designed by Alex Ossadnik this class provides a low impact full body workout that strengthens and stretches all major muscle groups. For levels CI through Adults.
Ballet Mat: Taught by Michelle Davis, this class was originally intended for injured dancers but is used by anyone looking to build core strength in an artistic environment. It consists of ballet exercises adapted for non-weight bearing and is combined with Yoga and PT for a hybrid workout that will keep you fit when injured and help reach greater levels of strength. For levels CI through Adults.

BRT Home Studio Recommendations
Please make sure your Zoom username is your real name (student or parent) and not a generic name i.e. “iPad 2”. This is for attendance and security purposes.
Internet Speed
Run an internet speed test in the room you plan to use as your at-home studio. You can do this HERE. If speeds are slow, Zoom will freeze, and dancers may have difficulty fully participating in class. Wifi extenders can be purchased to help remedy this issue.
Absolute Beginner Ballet
BRT offers eight-week sessions of Absolute Beginner Ballet classes that provide interested adults with a fun and informative introduction to proper technique. This program is developed for beginning adult dancers with no previous experience or the student who wants to refine their technique at a basic level and focuses on the basic movements and foundations of ballet technique. If you have never studied ballet but always wanted to, this is the class for you.
Once a week on Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm, Ms. Sarah Morris guides dancers through the fundamentals of ballet, $150 for 8 Weeks. Reservation is required 1 week prior to the start of each session.
