Ballet is the best training for an upright and stable posture.

To begin with, the dancers warm up at the barre. There, a fixed sequence of exercises is carried out that strengthen the individual muscle groups - especially the legs and feet - and form the basis for ballet figures and movements in space.

This is followed by a few exercises in the middle of the room that are similar to the exercises on the pole. The main focus here is on training balance, orientation in space and jumping power. The individual exercises are usually combined to form dance combinations, i.e. small choreographies.

The last big block are big jumps and turns through the diagonal, for example the split jump (“Grand Jeté”) and others.

The diagonal is the longest straight line in space, so it is also a great place to practice pirouettes.

At the end there is a small reverence (bow) and you thank the teacher for the valuable hour and your own body for the learning and the work.
