Ballet is a graceful, elegant type of classical dance. It emphasizes using the right body positioning, posture, and technique when performing maneuvers. There are a few studios that offer beginner ballet courses that range from serious and formal to casual, friendly, and yet still challenging, intermediate level for those who have had training for five or more years, and advanced level for those who have not (at a weekly pace). Although they are significantly less common, advanced ballet classes can be obtained in the greater Seattle area.
