Build muscle memory and strength with this PBT class focused on upper body & port de bras.

Progressing Ballet Technique® is an innovative system that takes ballet-specific exercises to build muscle memory and strength that can then be brought into the classroom. It’s a great method for students to build strength and technique to bring into their ballet work.

This class is led by ENB First Soloist Julia Conway, with ENBYouthCo dancer Anna Ovenden demonstrating and Reina Okada on the piano.
