What to Expect:
- Warm-Up (15 minutes): We begin with a thorough warm-up to prepare your body for the demands of ballet. This includes gentle stretching, basic foot and arm exercises, and light cardio to increase your heart rate.
- Barre Work (20 minutes): The heart of the class focuses on traditional ballet exercises at the barre. You will practice pliés, tendus, dégagés, and other fundamental movements, emphasizing proper alignment, strength, and flexibility.

Tajiana Rueschhoff’s dance journey began at the age of 5 when she first stepped into a small ballet school in Mississippi, sparking a passion that would endure a lifetime. Growing up in Ouray, Colorado, she continued to nurture her love for dance with Weehawken, honing her skills over the years. Travel played a pivotal role in her development, allowing her to train under diverse instructors and immerse herself in various dance styles. Summers were often spent in intensive training at the Kansas City Ballet, further shaping her dedication to dance. Tajiana pursued her passion with pre-professional training at the Northwest Florida Ballet. Now, back in Ouray, she is pursuing an undergraduate degree in Geology at the University of Florida while eagerly embracing the opportunity to share her profound love for dance through teaching.
