Susan Israel Massey will teach the small group class, touching on history, basic technique, and terminology, giving students the extra attention necessary for starting ballet. Each class builds upon the next, incorporating basic barre work and center work. After completion of the course, students transition into the Ballet I class with more confidence and ease.
