\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Progressing Ballet Technique is an innovative program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon<\/a> for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet. Safe dance training has been a passion of Marie\u2019s as an educator for 41 years. It is difficult for students to feel what muscles initiate the correct alignment in ballet training. However, as the fit ball is continually mobile under the students\u2019 body it gives the students a sense of posture and weight \u2013placement whilst feeling each correct muscle groups. Each exercise has been developed with care and guidance. The programs have received positive feedback from teachers\u2019 and students worldwide. Inspiring music has also been composed by Grant Kennedy to also stimulate the learning process. We have 4 certified teachers here at the studio!<\/p>\n
