Progressive Ball Technique (PBT) • AGES 10-18 An innovative dance conditioning program developed by Marie Walton- Mahon for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory and the understanding of core stability, weight placement, and alignment. It is difficult for students to feel what muscles initiate the correct alignment in dance training, however, as the fit ball is continually mobile under the students' body, it gives the students a sense of posture and weight placement while feeling each correct muscle group. Taught by a certified instructor. (bm) CODE DATE DAY TIME R/N
