Tuesday Open Ballet with Lisa Erickson

Please join Lisa Erickson for Open Ballet on Tuesdays from 5:30-7:00pm in the Sunroom at the Center for Performing Arts!

A ballet teacher with 35+ years of experience teaching all levels and ages, Lisa’s welcoming ballet classes naturally guide students in refining their alignment, balance, and technique, while also discovering the value and importance of the use of weight in their dancing. Coupled with individual attention, feedback, and humor, students experience expansion and growth in body and mind – and experience joy in the process!

Students are encouraged to expect success and mistakes! Only when we allow ourselves to take chances and risk failure can we grow to our full potential. Everyone is invited and welcome. Come play and see for yourself!
