Serious Ballet Technique for Everybody and Every Body
At Thrive Ballet, we strive to cultivate a ballet community that embraces and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes individuals of all body types, shapes, and sizes, recognizing the beauty and uniqueness each dancer brings to the art of ballet. Our dedication extends to embracing neurodiversity and disabilities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of ballet.
At Thrive Ballet, we take pride in our holistic, science-based approach to ballet training. We understand that each dancer is an individual with unique strengths and challenges, and we tailor our teaching methods to nurture their physical and artistic development. Our curriculum is rooted in the latest scientific principles, promoting safe and effective training techniques to enhance flexibility, strength, and overall well-being.
Our conditioning classes are limited to five students and are semi-private. In a typical class each student may be working on something different. Jill uses her expertise in Pilates combined with knowledge from Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, dance medicine, pilates for neurological conditions, Progressing Ballet Technique, 4Pointe and more to work with you on what you need. We can work to enhance dance technique, focus on injury prevention, or work to rehab an injury. We also teach body care to keep you healthy and dancing.
​
Our conditioning classes are also for non-dancers.
