This class is suitable for people with no prior knowledge of
ballet. This repeating series of eight classes introduces students
to the most common ballet vocabulary that they would need to know
in order to participate in Open Level Dark Room Ballet Class. The
class introduces students to necessary anatomical concepts like
turnout, torso stability, foot sensitivity and mobility, sightless
balancing, and the use of a taped floor for orientation.<br>
<br>
Classes take place each Saturday online via the Zoom platform;
there is also the option to call in via phone.<br>

<font size="2">If you are a blind or visually impaired person who
has never considered studying ballet before (maybe because you
worry about your balance or your body awareness), come and study
in the Dark Room! <br>
</font><br>
<font size="2">Balance and body awareness are learnable skills for
blind and low-vision people, and ballet taught in the
blind-specific tradition is probably the most efficient way to
learn them. <br>

confidence in a way that is meant for your own educational
needs.<br>
