Hi guys, hope you’re all well!
I intend on starting ‘Black Ballet’ Private Beginners Sessions with our Sorority Club members, which will be taught by a very renowned organisation called ‘Pointe Black’.
I wanted to gather some interest for those of you who would be up for going to these classes :)
ABOUT:
The instructor focuses on all the core techniques & principles of ballet, but infuses her dances with some RnB music. Think plies and twirls to SZA, Miguel, Frank Ocean etc. ☺️ Her teaching style is also very inclusive, nurturing and she has a funny and down to earth character. I have taken her general classes before which I've enjoyed! Our sessions will be on a 2-to-1 basis & just for club members.
Purpose:
- Ballet is a wonderful art form that has many benefits such as; stress alleviation, empowerment, strength and flexibility building, weight management, coordination and posture improvement and mental health improvement. It’s such a great activity to keep healthy in a way that doesn’t feel like a chore ❤️ private sessions are also the best opportunity for us to learn the skill at a slower, safer pace and environment, alongside having a buddy from our Club :)
- This will ease any nerves associated with new exercises and be a good introduction, as I’m aware many of us will be complete newbies. You don’t have to be a pro, skilled or experienced in any way these are beginner friendly for non-dancers.
- These sessions aim to promote the accessibility of ballet for Black women. This will also fulfill both our 'Arts & Culture' and ‘Health & Wellness’ Pledge
MAIN INFO:
-Sessions will be £23 per person and will have 2 people each time plus the instructor. They will take place on a Saturday morning in Battersea (South-west London)
-I am just registering interest for now. You will all be sent further information once a date and time is booked as well as the payment link which will be first come first served as there are only 2 slots available for each session
-I’m expecting this to be a long-term initiative for our Club so of course there will be more than one possibility to attend a session, to give everyone a chance to book it and be a part of this new activity
-I will simply send out a new link/message each time there’s availability. Please add yourself to this RSVP as an expression of interest if you would like to be included in the group that receives these links! :)
