Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
Saturdays
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program that has been designed to enhance students' technique by focusing on training muscle memory. It is a unique training system using ballet-technique specific exercises to train skill acquisition used by teachers around the world.
PBT is not only a program to improve technique in ballet dancers, it has been appreciated and incorporated in training by all forms of dancers, athletes, physiotherapists and even footballers!
At Just Imagine we use PBT as part of our pre-pointe programme, to help dancers strengthen their bodies and feet ready for the rigours of pointework.
Pointe Preparation
Saturdays
The Pointe Preparation class is designed to gently introduce pointe work to children who have successfully completed our pre-pointe programme assessment. This class provides a carefully planned and supportive transition towards pointe, focusing on developing the necessary strength, alignment, and technical awareness. Through a structured and tailored approach, each dancer is guided at their own pace, ensuring they progress safely and confidently while meeting their individual physical and technical needs.
Stretch and Flex
We follow the Alixa Flexibility method to help achieve maximum mobility and flexibility.
Join our class and see how soon you can achieve your flexibility goals!
This class is open to all dancers over the age of 10, and is actively recommended for those attending 2 or more dance classes a week to supplement all forms of dance and acrobatic training.
