Progressing Ballet Technique
Progressing Ballet Technique helps students advance in all dance forms, focusing on core stability, weight placement, proper alignment, and muscle memory. In PBT we use equipment to target specific exercises and muscle groups. The equipment creates instant feedback, so dancers are able to correct themselves. This trains their muscle memory and correct alignment for ballet technique.
