Felt true to the roots of ballet; have a sturdy surface or barre, put on fuzzy socks on a smooth floor if possible for sliding and gliding, and engage in this gorgeous standing ballet class. There are no jumps, bounces (not even in warm up), but leave room for your leg to extend in front, behind, and to the side. Loved the feeling of the balletic grace infused throughout.

Hello standing leg burn and tendu leg stretch- whew! This is a ballet-centric class that had a love child with a towel dance class, and I am here for it! It was a challenge, but felt more accessible to me than many of the towel dance classes. Class is all standing, but you need a stretched and reaching leg’s space of clearance in a circle around you. I rolled up my rug and used fuzzy socks on hardwood floors since I don’t have gliders. Anaerobic heat and sweat building, with no jumps or bounce. The moves required my focus and Marnie’s form guidance throughout was helpful and also required my focus to aim for proper form.
