Are you or someone you know interested in ballet but have no prior experience? Beginning tomorrow, Saturday January 22, 2022, through March 12 from 4 – 5:30 pm, Dark RoomBallet offers its Introductory Level Class virtually and free of charge. Dark Room Ballet, hosted by Movement Research, is geared specifically to the educational needs of people who are blind or visually impaired. The classes introduce students to basic ballet vocabulary in preparation for participation in their “Open Level Dark Room Ballet Class.” It covers “anatomical concepts” like torso stability, sightless balancing, and “the use of a taped floor for orientation.” To check out the class, or to register, go to Virtual Dark Room Ballet: Introductory Level Class.
