Ballet for adults at the Old Stone House

Posted

HASBROUCK, NY — Ballet classes for adults have been added to the dance offerings at The Old Stone House of Hasbrouck, a local 501(c)3 arts and education center.

On four Saturdays in January, grownups can learn the basics of this dance form, widely considered the early foundation of most other dance styles. For years, children have been learning ballet at The House, but this is the first time adults can join.

The classes meet January 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 10:30 to 11:30 am. Instructor Alana Sherman, a certified dance therapist, has been teaching for over 30 years.

Adult dancers should wear ballet slippers, if available, and comfortable loose clothing. To set the mood for ballet, black leotards and pink tights are urged. The building tends to be cool in winter, so a sweater is advisable. Sessions follow a typical ballet class structure: warm-up, barre, and center work.

Classes cost $10 per session, or $32.50 for all four, with Old Stone House members getting a 20% discount. For more information, call 845/436-0070, or email sherman_alana@yahoo.com.
