Brush Up on Basics Ballet: Has it been a while since your last dance class? Do you miss ballet but feel intimidated by the idea of jumping into an intermediate class? Or have you always wanted to try ballet but couldn't find a beginner option? This class is for you! In response to many requests, Brush Up On Basics is a brand new class at the Center that covers very basic ballet instruction focused on learning/relearning positions, steps, and vocabulary. We will also pay attention to building strength, healthy alignment, and having fun! No leotards necessary here, comfortable exercise-wear is just fine!

Class payment may be made in person via cash, check, or Venmo. Questions? Email programs@nohoarts.org!

Kelly Silliman is the Center’s Co-Director (formerly the Program Director), and an experienced dance educator who emphasizes healthy alignment, integrated warm-ups, individualized attention, and having fun while exploring movement and music material. Students are encouraged to develop movement patterns intended to serve their bodies long term, and to think about why we move the way we do and how the lessons of dance class can apply to life outside the studio. She makes lots of jokes and believes it’s the job of ballet to work for YOU. Kelly has over 20 years of experience as a teacher, performer, director, choreographer and scholar. She holds a BA in Theatre Arts, and an MFA in dance from Smith College.
