STEP INTO BALLET, NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

STEP INTO BALLET, NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED 🩰⁠
⁠
Our Beginner Ballet Masterclass is the perfect intro to the world of dance — no experience required. Led by our founder, @JanickaArthur, this 90-minute class is designed just for adult beginners (or those returning to the barre after some time away).⁠
⁠
You’ll learn:⁠
✨ Foundational ballet positions and terminology⁠
✨ Basic barre work for strength and balance⁠
✨ Simple combinations that connect movement and music⁠
✨ How to move expressively and confidently — no pressure, no judgment⁠
⁠
It’s more than just a class — it’s a chance to explore, express, and connect with others who are stepping into something new.⁠
⁠
Spots are limited, so grab a friend and sign up for this one-time masterclass before our next 10-week ballet series kicks off in June.⁠

HOW I LOOK AT MY STUDENTS DOING SOMETHING THEY NEV

HOW I LOOK AT MY STUDENTS DOING SOMETHING THEY NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD DO 🖤⁠
⁠
The most beautiful part of being a dance instructor is seeing my students not only improve their technique, but also accomplish things they never thought they could do. It’s so much bigger than dance.⁠
⁠
At Art of VIII, we teach confidence, mental strength, and resilience — because those lessons stick with you long after you leave the studio.⁠
