Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort announces the return of Baa Atoll Ballet Retreat led by British Royal Ballet-trained dancer and certified breathwork facilitator, Karis Scarlette. Karis’s classical ballet program will again be open to novices and dancers of all ages and levels, from 12th to 23rd November 2024.
The retreat is a holistic wellness experience that enables benefits such as improved muscular strength, better posture and reduced stress. Attendees will also enjoy a host of relaxing spa treatments and ballet-themed amenities, as well as learn more about Karis’s journey over themed cocktails and dining on the beach.
This year’s retreat will bring back popular classes for children, including ‘Tutus & Twirls’ that nurtures creativity, coordination, musicality and technique. For adults, ‘Sunrise Serenity’ will combine mindfulness and breathwork, while private and group ballet classes are tailored to suit all levels and abilities.
“I find that the Maldives, with its incredible beauty, is a perfect fit for ballet retreats, with its pristine nature enhancing the healthful virtues of the art,” said Karis Scarlette. “After last year’s success, I’m excited to continue my partnership with Avani+ Fares, making ballet more accessible, and expanding our understanding of wellness.”
