Ballet with Lee Brummer

Using the classical ballet form, in Lee’s ballet classes there is a focus on amplifying versatility using different movement qualities, musicality and range. We foster both softness and breath, and explosively and speed while creating the clear form and coordination of classical ballet foundation and technique. Classes focus on musicality, weight shift both at the barre and across the floor, a play with gravity and connecting to ones own artistry.
