Six reasons to try Ballet Flow
Get limber, get social, get happy: Ballet Flow classes at Holmes Place are designed to sculpt your body, boost your mood and let you experience the joy of ballet. Here’s why you’ll love it as much as our members do.
Everyone from models to celebrities is bending over backwards to get to ballet-inspired classes. The workout is to thank for some of the most coveted bodies, thriving with strength and suppleness.
Let’s be honest - none of us are professional ballet dancers. But that doesn’t mean we can’t use basic conditioning movements of the dance style to live out our ballerina dreams.
Ballet Flow ate Holmes Place is a 45-minute class that blends classical dance inspiration with modern fitness. It’s a delightful, full-body conditioning session, bursting with energetic songs. You’ll adore it for the following reasons…
1. You’ll get a total body workout
Don’t be fooled - those ballet-style micro-pulses and light arm weights will make your muscles quiver. But it’s all good. Sculpting your way to a lean and strong body is one of the biggest reasons to try Ballet Flow. Classes have been designed to target the whole body - mixing stretches, squats, lunges and rotations with low-intensity movements for a workout that’ll leave you feeling a little sore, but truly satisfied.
2. You’ll have a lovely time
The cheerful grace of this class will soothe any stresses you may have and help improve your mood. Ballet Flow can help you switch off negative thought patterns and be fully present in the moment, which is kind of meditative. You’ll feel the flow through those plies, leg raises and dainty little movements and leave in a wonderful bubble of ballet-infused zen.
3. You’ll be more flexible with every class
Ballet Flow can make you bendier. You don’t need the flexibility of a dancer to be able to do the class, but the stretching and balance required in each session will work wonders on your range of motion.
4. Your strength will come on leaps and bounds
As well as torching calories and improving your flexibility, Ballet Flow builds strength - just not the way you know it. There are no heavy weights, no grunts or huge movements, just smart resistance worked into the delicate motions of classical dance. This means you’ll get all the benefits of a hardcore full-body burn and experience the joyous techniques and aesthetics of ballet at the same time.
5. You’ll make Ballet Flow friends
Ballet-inspired classes are a unique way to interact with others and expand your social circle in a low-pressure environment. Everyone is at different levels of fitness and there is no judgement here - just positivity, shared passions and plenty of fun to be had.
6. It’s a massive confidence boost
As your ballet techniques continue to improve, your confidence will soar and you’ll feel more at ease with the movements. Even if you’re feeling shy on your first class, your worries will soon dissolve.
