Beginning Saturday, March 9th from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (New York Time)


NOTE: Sponsored by Movement Research<https://movementresearch.org/>,
this class is designed specifically for the educational needs of blind
and visually impaired adults.


About Saturday Introductory Level
Class<https://darkroomballet.com/intro-march-2024/>:


This is a FREE class!

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.

Classes take place each Saturday online via the Zoom platform; there
is also the option to call in via phone.

Dark Room Ballet classes and workshops are taught by Krishna
Washburn<https://darkroomballet.com/about-krishna/>, a blind dancer
and dance teacher, and they prioritize the needs of blind and visually
impaired students.
