You’ll be guided by Muriël Kraan, an experienced ballet teacher with 28 years of teaching experience. She’ll introduce you to the basics of ballet technique, posture, and movement. You will also get familiar with some of the French terminology used in ballet.
What makes this workshop extra special is the live music. Ballet pianist Henk van Riel will accompany the class, improvising and adapting his playing to match the exercises.
