SOMA Jersey Summer Programme: Ballet Unbound Workshop

This Ballet Unbound workshop combines classical ballet technique with flowing, expressive movement in nature's most relaxed studio, the beach.

Whether you're an experienced ballet dancer, or new to ballet, the workshop will invite you to find strength, softness and stillness in a beautiful setting.  

Ex-professional ballet dancer Emily Ward (SOMA Jersey) will lead you through a gentle warm-up before undertaking some barre-inspired work. Following that, she will guide you through a variety of across-the-sand sequences focusing on posture, balance and expression.

Finally, there will be an opportunity to explore how your body chooses to respond to the material taught.

A discreet part of the beach will be utilised to enable you to fully reconnect with your body. Suitable for all levels - barefoot and free!

Please note: in the event of poor weather, this workshop will be postponed.
