In adult ballet classes, participants are introduced to classical ballet technique, practice the expressive movements characteristic of ballet, and perform short sequences of movements. Ballet strengthens the deep muscles and improves balance, coordination, and posture. In addition, it adds new dimensions to physical expression.
The classes consist of warm-ups, exercises at the barre, floor work, and movement sequences. In Flama’s ballet classes, we dance in a relaxed, graceful, and lighthearted manner, without forgetting the basics of ballet.
Ida is a ballet instructor who is attentive and gentle and loves physical expression. Ida completed the comprehensive dance curriculum of the Basic Education in the Arts program at the Jyväskylä Dance Academy from 2004 to 2013, majoring in classical ballet and minoring in contemporary dance, jazz dance, and repertoire. She has also participated in numerous dance productions as both a dancer and a choreographer.
For Ida, dance means diving into her own body and, through that, connecting with the shared space. She considers the most important element of a dance class to be the focus on being in the same place and time: the momentary synchronization of bodies and the awareness of a shared physical experience. Through her teaching, Ida wants to help dancers experience their bodies as powerful and radiant.
