SUMMARY:Ballet For Fun - Sorrento
DESCRIPTION:**A ballet class designed to bring ballet and all of its joys
  to people that normally wouldn't be able to access it.**\\nIf you've eve
 r thought about going to a ballet class and giving it a try\\, but have b
 een scared\\, apprehensive\\, or known you might not be welcome in the ro
 om\\, this class is for you.\\n**Every 4th Saturday of the month\\,** **3
 :30 - 4:30 PM**\\n(next: 28/11/2026)\\n(no December class)\\n(then: 23/01
 /2027)\\nHeld at the **Sorrento Community Hall**\\nAbsolute beginners wel
 come\\nDisabled people are also welcome\\, and will be provided with acco
 mmodations as needed\\n**The class is designed to be as inclusive as poss
 ible and to avoid common triggers that occur in a standard ballet class.*
 * Many people avoid ballet because of the way you are expected to think a
 bout and pay attention to your body. So this class will NOT be discussing
  anything beyond the absolute necessities (eg. for this movement\\, your 
 hand will reach in front\\, then move up above your head). Another common
  reason is that it's so\\nstechnical\\; there are a lot of very specific 
 movements and positions to keep track of. And they're all in French! It b
 ecomes very overwhelming\\, very fast\\, especially for people with cogni
 tive disabilities and/or neurodiversities. So we like to go slow and keep
  it simple. I always try to give clear instructions\\, and will repeat th
 em as often as necessary.\\nThe other big barrier a lot of people face is
  the discrimination and exclusion found in the ballet. Although this clas
 s can't make big changes to the greater ballet world\\, **it is very impo
 rtant to me that it feels safe and welcoming towards people of all backgr
 ounds and identities.** This specifically includes\\, but is not limited 
 to\\, people of colour\\, indigenous Australians\\, fat people\\, disable
 d people and queer people.\\nThe point of this class\\, first and foremos
 t\\, is to bring ballet to people who would never go to a traditional bal
 let class. It has therefore been specifically designed with certain group
 s of people in mind. However **anyone and everyone is welcome!** If you t
 hink giving ballet a go might be fun\\, or if you just want a way to find
  new people and make some friends\\, we would love to have you.\\n**I̲mÌ
 ²p̲o̲r̲t̲a̲n̲t̲ ̲i̲n̲f̲o̲:̲**\\n* **No dress code**\\, (some
 thing you can move in is best)\\n* You CAN **bring a friend\\, support pe
 rson\\, or support worker**\\; even if they are not participating.\\n* It
  is **possible to take this class with severe mobility restrictions** (eg
 . fully seated) but it is best to let us know before the day so we can pl
 an the specifics for your needs (there will be a question when you click 
 on "attend" or if you follow the link at the end).\\n* Everyone is expect
 ed to be **kind and respectful to all people in the room** regardless of 
 their appearance\\, identity\\, disability\\, etc.\\n* You can arrive up 
 to 30 minutes early (although 5 is fine too)\\n* The class is suitable fo
 r **absolute beginners**\\n**More Detailed Information and More Extensive
  Sign Up Form**\\nhttps://tally.so/r/yPoe18\\nThe first page of this link
  has a lot of information about how the class is run\\, what to expect\\,
  and how we ensure inclusivity and accessibility. The page also has a "si
 gn up" button\\, this has a form that includes your accessibility needs\\
 , safety concerns (eg. allergy\\, epilepsy)\\, anything you're worried ab
 out\\, an "anything else" box\\, and basics like your name. Many people h
 ave found it a helpful place to make sure all of their needs are known. Y
