Dance for Gymnatsics | Beginner Ballet Barre
How does ballet relate to gymnastics? Every dance element a gymnast will ever do on floor and beam has it's foundation in ballet, as we improve our foundation for dance, our artistry and score goes up!
Increased Posture & Poise
A large part of an athletes artistry score is not what they are doing, but how they are doing it, and how we step, stand, leap, jump and turn is all developed through basic Ballet.
Increased Musicality & Performance
Being able to interpret and move to the music, even if we're not a natural performer, increases our confidence and our score as an artistic gymnast.
Increased Artistry & Score
Artistry is in the code and can make a huge difference when it comes to an athlete's score. Having a firm foundation in dance helps to insure the highest artistry score possible.
"Betty is one of the few people I have met in gymnastics who has a dance background and actually understands how ballet connects to gymnastics. I especially appreciate her understanding of the physics behind how it improves leaps, jumps & turns - being able to understand WHY we practice it, makes a huge difference."
Lara (Women's Program Director)
