Klassisk med Suzie Davies

Welcome to a class by Suzie Davies!

This class is structured like a conventional ballet class but she encourages the participants to work within their bodies’ own framework, giving them freedom of interpretation, and focusing on enjoying the movement rather than being locked to technique.
