The Program FAQ

What is Ballet Beats?

Is Dance or Ballet experience required?

Ballet Beats® is a proprietary syllabus and program which combines both Ballet and Fitness into a multi-level, inclusive fitness experience. You can experience Ballet Beats® at our studio, via our Live Virtual Classes, through the Ballet Beats® Digital Studio, and our Ballet Beats® Retreats. We also run teacher trainings with the opportunity to license the program and teach your own classes.

No. Our classes accommodate both dancers and non-dancers but be warned, you will become a dancer.

What level of fitness is required?

All levels of fitness are welcome and the classes are multi-level. The first few classes will be extra challenging and we will provide modifications throughout. It is a high energy program but everything can be simplified, modified, or amplified. Listen to your body, be kind to yourself, and allow it to be an experience. You will feel supported by our inclusive and kind teaching staff and community members.

What if I am un-coordinated?

We will help you to gain co-ordination and grace! Ballet is one of best activities to develop a mind-body connection. We work your brain and body at the same time! You will also gain a better sense of musicality by taking our classes! 

What if I have injuries? What if I am pregnant? 

How long does it take to feel a difference in how I’m moving?

You are welcome to modify any exercises in the class, please inform the instructor prior to taking class to ensure we can help you stay safe and comfortable! Always listen to your body! We have many pregnant students, however, we recommend talking with your doctor about exercises that are appropriate for you during this special time! 

 

The Ballet Beats® program takes some time to really understand and grasp the movements. It is, of course, a different experience for students with dance experience or not and for students who are already very active and physically fit versus a student just starting their fitness journey. It is not the same experience as traditional exercise. It involves learning new skills, new patterns in the body, activating muscles that aren’t always used in traditional activities. Commit to it for a month and you will start to feel different in your body. Your energy level and happiness will likely shift in your first class!!!
