Classes
Foundation
Master the foundations. Build strength. Move with confidence.
Foundation is our most accessible ballet-based class — but don't let the name fool you. This is still a challenging, full-body workout designed to build strength, improve posture and develop greater body awareness through ballet-inspired movement.
With additional time dedicated to explaining ballet positions, proper form and alignment, you'll learn how to perform each movement with greater precision and control.
The choreography is challenging yet easy to follow, using high repetitions and intentional sequencing to build muscular endurance while giving you the opportunity to understand and refine each movement.
Ballet-inspired exercises are combined with elements of Pilates and strength training to challenge the entire body while developing balance, coordination, flexibility and mind-body connection.
Foundation is the perfect starting point for those with no previous ballet or fitness experience, while still providing a challenging and technique-focused workout for more experienced clients looking to refine their form.
Build the technique here, then take it with you into every Graceful Strength class.
Equipment: 2 kg hand weights + yoga blocks
Level: All Levels / Beginner Friendly
Duration: 50 minutes
Footwear: Ballet slippers or grip socks required
Ballet Flex
Improve flexibility. Increase mobility. Move with greater freedom and control.
Ballet Flex is a low-impact class inspired by the flexibility and mobility training used in ballet.
Rather than simply holding passive stretches, the class combines both passive and dynamic movement, active flexibility and targeted strengthening to properly warm the body and develop greater range of motion with control.
Using ballet-inspired exercises along with straps and blocks, we work through the hips, hamstrings, back, shoulders and other key areas of the body to release tension, improve mobility and build the strength needed to support deeper flexibility.
The result is a body that feels more open, mobile and connected — while developing the flexibility, control and quality of movement associated with ballet training.
Equipment: Stretch bands, yoga blocks, resistance bands
Level: All levels
Duration: 50 minutes
Footwear: Grip socks required
Ballet Sculpt
Take your ballet training to the next level.
Designed as the progression from Foundation, Ballet Sculpt combines ballet technique, strength training and more advanced choreography for a challenging full-body workout that allows you to train — and feel — like a ballet dancer.
Barre sequences become more complex and faster-paced, challenging your strength, balance, coordination and muscular endurance while developing the controlled, lengthened quality of movement associated with ballet.
More advanced choreography also challenges your memory, focus and mind-body connection as you learn and connect movements into longer combinations — just as you would in traditional ballet training.
With added resistance from hand and ankle weights, Ballet Sculpt strengthens the entire body while continuing to refine your posture, alignment, control and ballet technique.
Expect to point your toes, lengthen through your body, challenge your mind and leave feeling stronger, taller and more connected to your movement.
Equipment: 2 kg hand weights, 2 kg ankle weights + yoga blocks
Level: Intermediate — Foundation experience recommended
Duration: 50 minutes
Footwear: Ballet slippers or grip socks required
Fast-paced ballet conditioning designed to build strength, stamina and endurance.
Ballet Burn is our higher-intensity, faster-paced ballet strength conditioning class, combining low-impact movement with resistance training for a challenging full-body workout.
Inspired by the strength and conditioning used in ballet training, this class moves at a quicker pace through targeted exercises designed to challenge the core, glutes, legs and upper body while building balance, strength, stamina and muscular endurance.
Using weighted resistance throughout the class, expect controlled movement, high repetitions and minimal rest to create that signature Ballet Burn — without high-impact exercises.
Most of the class is performed on the mat, making it low impact while still delivering an intense strength workout.
Come ready to work, sweat and leave feeling stronger and energized.
Equipment: 7 kg weighted beam, 2 kg ankle weights + 2 kg wrist weights, resistance bands
Level: Intermediate / Advanced
