Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first class.
“ Ballet Body Sculpture is the most advanced and professional system of physical and mental development. It's good for women and men who want a better posture and a great body. Far more precise and targeted than joining a gym, or Pilates on its own — this is for people who want results.
I don't have prior ballet training. Can I join?
+
Yes, absolutely! You don't need any previous ballet training — we teach you everything you need to know to create a beautiful, strong and flexible ballet body.
What do I wear?
+
Comfortable exercise clothes. For footwear we recommend soft ballet shoes (available at any ballet store). If you don't have ballet shoes, regular socks are fine to start.
What if I don't have a dancer's body?
+
No worries! Ballet Body Sculpture's body-positive method is designed for everybody. You don't need to be a particular size, shape, flexible or coordinated — we'll teach you everything you need to know to create your best physique using ballet techniques.
Do I need a ballet barre or special equipment?
+
No special equipment is required except a regular floor mat. You don't need a barre — just use the back of a stable chair or a countertop for balance.
Is Ballet Body Sculpture similar to a barre class?
+
No — but ballet is the original (and best!) barre workout. Ballet Body Sculpture is a unique combination of Pilates, stretching, strengthening and authentic ballet training. Other than a hand on the barre, there are no weights or props. Authentic ballet technique works posture, core and extension to lengthen muscles and develop physical grace and elegance.
Is ballet a good workout?
+
Ballet is the ultimate workout for people who want to refine their bodies. The more correctly you do the technique, the more intense it becomes — engaging the whole body and the mind, improving focus, memory, confidence and attention. Ballet also works smaller muscles that most workouts leave out.
I used to dance. Is Ballet Body Sculpture advanced enough for me?
+
Ballet Body Sculpture is intended for adults and addresses all levels. Even with prior training, you'll get expert tips for better technique — and a challenging workout.
