Cali Ballet is an extension class of our regular calisthenic classes. Cali Ballet focuses on developing the foundation skills required for calisthenics such as Turnout, deportment, core strength and ballet syllabus. This class uses a combination of regular ballet training combined with Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT). Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon. One of the important elements used in the PBT method is muscle memory which helps to improve students' understanding of core stability, weight placement and alignment. Each exercise in the PBT program has been developed with care and guidance by Marie Walton-Mahon along with a team of physiotherapists. Michele Pink, Principal Coach at Rosemore Calisthenics Dance College is a certified PBT instructor.

The following equipment will be required by each pupil for this class.

A Yoga Mat (either 4mm or 6mm)
