Class description

This class is perfect for anyone with basic knowledge of the classical ballet technique but it also welcomes beginners to try a slightly more challenging class. Coming from the classical Vaganova style, the lessons are focused on the correct body alignment in all positions, ballet technique and coordination through uplifting exercises. Eliska has been teaching all levels of experience from beginner to professional and all ages from toddlers to older adults. Her teaching is energetic and pays attention to detail. It comes across to everyone how she genuinely cares for the individual progress of each student and manages to create a forceful and positive atmosphere in her classes.
