Ballet Pilates

ARC’s unique Ballet Pilates classes which take place every Wednesday mix Pilates techniques with Classic Ballet moves to help improve health.

The sessions which are suitable for beginners, use a range of techniques that can be tailored to an individual’s own ability which have been suggested to improve posture, core stability and flexibility whilst toning muscles.

Classes are led through dancing, stretching and strengthening in a relaxed environment to a mixture of Classical Ballet music and well known instrumental tracks.

Before the class starts, a basic postural analysis is available from tutor Sarah Elizabeth Hearn, who also covers lessons at the The Royal Ballet School. The analysis of the posture allows attendees to focus on the areas which may need the most strengthening.

Classes are suitable for 16+ and attendees should bring their own mat and bottle of water. No previous experience of ballet or Pilates is necessary.
