Class Description:
His ballet class is focused on basic ballet techniques with purity and musicality gradually building dynamic of the individual’s technics and qualities. For example, quick foot works give one flourish energies in the center and deep steady energies with core stabilities through various adagio combinations. It is my pleasure to share my experiences to create new knowledge, as well as being a part of the dancer’s further development.
