On achieving goals...


·       
Thought for this week:  
Figure out what you want most, don't let what 
you want right this minute 
(such as "to sleep in instead of get up and train for your goals") 
get in the way. Give up the short term 
good thing for the long term best thing...:)

Happy Goal Achieving!

Meet us at the ballet barre for a great class...:)


Have you always wanted to feel like a dancer, with beautiful posture that only comes from a strong core?  Longing for strong tight glutes as well?  Join us for our "Ballet Conditioning" class, based on ballet barre exercises and core strengthening exercises to train you in the way a dancer trains.  

After the 10 minute center port de corps warm up, we complete a 30 minute barre, then we return to center for 15 minutes to train our glutes and core, and stretch it all out with 20 minutes of a yoga based balance and stretch.

This fun class will focus on glutes, abs, lower back, inner and outer thighs, as well as hamstrings, quads, calves, shins, and the upper body.  Classes are held Tuesday mornings at 5:45 a.m., and Friday mornings at 9:30, and last one hour and 15 minutes.  You may sign up for one class or both, tuition for an 8 week session is 100.00 attending twice a week, 75.00 attending once (you must indicate whether you choose Tuesday OR Friday on your registration form).  Please know that this class is not designed to change your body with a once a week class, but the knowledge you will gain with exercises and posture and muscular awareness will  give you options for exercises you can perform within your own workouts on your off days from class.

Drop ins are allowed if space is available, for a charge of 12.00 per class.

Please speak with Studio Director and instructor of the class, Janine Fraser for more details...inlandnwballet@aol.com or 467-0765

We also have a possible Tuesday evening class in the works, please speak with studio director Janine Fraser if interested.
