Ballet with Ashley Tuttle

LENGTH: 63 min. LEVEL: Advanced SPACE: Large

Ashley Tuttle’s ballet class is based in the tradition of pure ballet vocabulary. Musicality and phrasing are a large component of the lesson. The class pushes the dancer’s technical ability, stamina and strength while focusing on movement quality and the love of dance. Ashley believes beauty is within the space between the vocabulary and the way in which a dancer’s personality is shown through their movement quality. She believes dancers should be reminded, not to let their perfectionist stand in their way. A student’s passion for dance should be seen in their freedom of movement.
