About this Class:

Take your turns and big leaps to the next level! From classic pirouettes to quirkier turns and powerful leaps that will have you flying, join in on this fun summer master class that's full of twists and turns. Justin will teach you techniques and exercises he's used as a professional dancer.  

This class is an exclusive BT-SLO Summer Dance Workshop only! Take one or all three offered this summer to uplevel your technique for the show season.

Age/Level: Ages 14 to Adults. Intermediate and advanced dancers - students who have advanced beginner ballet training and already have knowledge of basic ballet vocabulary. Justin will modify the class based on the class and give modifications to individuals.
