Adult Ballet Retreat in Santa Barbara, CA
Beginner/Adv. Beginner Level
Your favorite getaway of the year is back. Join Amy for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday) of ballet practice in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. We’ll begin each day with ballet technique based in the Vaganova method, fine tune what’s needed to continue progressing at home, and end each day learning choreography from the classical repertoire.
Participants are encouraged to explore the city and surrounding area in their time off. Santa Barbara is home to beautiful beaches, charming cafes, delicious restaurants and bars, wineries, as well as stunning natural vistas and hikes.
