Service Description

Classical Ballet. Experience the joy of beginner ballet with fun and creative classes, focusing on proper technique, alignment cues, beautiful music, and expressive movement. In our Movement Zone classical ballet lessons, we will teach you the fundamentals of ballet, including technique and terminology that follow the Royal Academy Of Dancing (RAD) standards. Our main goal is to improve your flow and precision of movement while incorporating storytelling to create conversations through movement. Our classes are designed to be fun and engaging, with a variety of activities and experiments that will help you improve your skills. Let us tell you a bit about our classical teacher..Charlie Lloyd-Byrnes is a Melbourne born and based multi-disciplined creative. At age 3, he began performing with youth company Stepping Stones, and later began a 10 year journey with Utassy Ballet School, under Sue Hayes, where he trained in classical ballet, various contemporary movement forms, and international dance styles (Ukrainian, Irish, African, Spanish, Hungarian, Moldavian). Last year, Byrnes worked as a ballet teacher and mentor, choreographing a piece for Utassy’s new contemporary suite, Sensorium. He is thrilled to be on board with the Movement Zone team and community. In our classical ballet lessons we will cover the basics of ballet, technique and terminology while working on flow and precision of movement. We will focus on storytelling and making conversations via movement. Our classes will be full of fun activities and experiments.
