Tuesdays, 7 – 8:30PM at The Francia Russell Center in Bellevue

This class is a precursor to our Beginner I class and will break down basic ballet positions, terminology, and musicality to slowly build on your learning each week and enhance your skills as a novice dancer. Little to no ballet experience required.

NEW! Fundamentals II (5-week Course)
