You do not have to be “good enough” to begin—or return—to ballet.

Join professional ballet dancer and instructor Mariia Koskela for a supportive, beginner-friendly online adult ballet workshop. Learn foundational movements, enjoy moving to music, and approach something new with curiosity and encouragement.

This small-group class combines authentic ballet instruction with The Secret Dance Technique’s mindset approach. Alongside ballet technique, participants will practice a simple way to approach unfamiliar steps and respond to mistakes, without worrying about getting everything right.

Participants will:

• Learn and practice foundational ballet movements

• Work on posture, alignment, balance, and coordination

• Explore musicality and the enjoyment of dancing

• Practice treating mistakes as part of learning and celebrating small steps of progress.

• Learn at their own pace in a warm, encouraging environment

Whether you’re trying ballet for the first time or returning after a break, this is an opportunity to reconnect with movement, challenge yourself, and celebrate small steps of progress.

No previous ballet or dance experience is required. Adults returning to ballet are warmly welcomed.
