Beginner Partnering Class with Max + Falkner

Saturday, November 4

3:00pm-4:00pm

For dancers age 11+ years old

Perfect for dancers who have a strong dad, brother, grandpa, (or significant other/adult friend for those over the age of 18) who is willing to step up for a fun challenge!

Class will be taught at an absolute beginner level, and will focus on assisted balances, basic promenades, and coordination in basic assisted jumps. No experience necessary for your dance partner- we'll all learn together!

This is a fun way for non-dancers to learn the challenges of ballet partnering, and for dancers to experience being partnered!

Dancers from all studios are welcome.
