Come and join a ballet-based dance class taught by a Lexington Ballet company member. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of ballet and enjoy the opportunity to move like a ballet dancer. You will learn to enhance your balance and develop poise in your posture. You will also learn how to lengthen and soften movements executed with your body. There will also be available ballet movements in coordination with sitting and/or wheelchair-based students. All are welcome for this movement-based experience.

REQUIRED MATERIALS: Those enrolled will need comfortable tight clothing like leotard, tights, a ballet skirt if they wish or leggings if they wish. This is so the instructor can see their body and make appropriate corrections and ensure those enrolled will not endanger themselves. They will also need ballet slippers.

Visiting an art museum offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and richness of the visual arts. For many, however, stepping into a large museum can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with vast collections of masterpieces. It's easy to feel intimidated, unsure of where to start, or even out of place in such grand environments. This course is designed for anyone who wants to enhance their museum experience, whether you're a first-time visitor or someone looking to deepen your engagement with art. In this class, we will guide you through strategies for making the most of your time in some of the world's most iconic art museums. We will focus on helping you prioritize key works, develop a personalized viewing plan, and navigate the sometimes labyrinthine layouts of these cultural landmarks. With so much to see, the goal is not to "see everything" but to ensure you experience the highlights that will give you the richest and most rewarding visit.

We will explore several renowned museums across Europe, including: The Louvre in Paris, France; Picasso Museum in Paris, France; Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France; The Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain; Reina Sofia Art Museum in Madrid, Spain; Thyssen- Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, Spain; Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy; and the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.

Throughout the course, we will explore key works from each of these institutions, offering insight into their historical and artistic significance. You’ll learn how to plan your visit to avoid feeling rushed or overwhelmed, and how to approach the art in a way that fosters curiosity and appreciation. By the end of the course, you’ll have a toolkit of strategies to engage with art in a thoughtful, confident, and enjoyable way, transforming your museum visits into enriching and memorable experiences.
