Elisa’s ballet classes are specially designed for contemporary dancers. Next to aiming to develop the technique, she uses ballet as a form of dancing itself. Her goal is for young dancers to learn to approach it in a different way and understand how to unlock the body’s full potential. She particularly focuses on large movements, musical precision, fluidity and dynamic versatility, to get the dancers ready for whatever repertoire they will learn and dance.
