Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is a training program and methodology developed by Marie Walton-Mahon, a ballet teacher and choreographer. PBT focuses on incorporating specific exercises and training techniques to improve a dancer's strength, stability, and alignment, with the ultimate goal of enhancing their ballet technique.
PBT uses a combination of floor exercises, resistance bands, and stability balls to target and engage the muscles required for ballet movements. These exercises are designed to help dancers understand and develop muscle memory for correct ballet alignment and placement.
The key components of Progressing Ballet Technique include:
1. Stability: PBT uses exercises on a stability ball to improve core strength, stability, and balance, which are vital for maintaining proper posture during ballet movements.
2. Resistance: Resistance bands are employed to add resistance to specific exercises, aiding in muscle activation and strengthening, particularly in the legs and feet.
3. Muscle Engagement: Dancers learn to engage specific muscle groups consciously, allowing them to execute movements with greater control and precision.
4. Muscle Memory: By regularly practicing PBT exercises, dancers develop muscle memory for correct alignment and positioning, which carries over into their ballet technique.
Progressing Ballet Technique has gained popularity among ballet teachers, schools, and dance studios as a valuable supplement to traditional ballet training. It is often used as part of a dancer's cross-training regimen to complement their regular ballet classes and promote injury prevention.
PBT is suitable for dancers of all ages and levels, from beginners to professional dancers, and it can benefit anyone seeking to improve their ballet technique, strength, and artistry.

Contemporary dance technique is a genre of dance that emerged in the mid-20th century as a departure from classical ballet and modern dance. It is characterized by its fluidity, versatility, and expression of emotions and ideas through movement. Contemporary dancers often emphasize the use of gravity, floor work, and the connection between breath and movement.
Unlike specific codified techniques like ballet or jazz, contemporary dance allows for individual expression and creativity, often incorporating a wide range of movement styles. It draws inspiration from various dance forms, including modern dance pioneers like Martha Graham and Isadora Duncan, as well as elements from jazz, ballet, and other dance genres.
Contemporary dance encourages dancers to explore their own movement vocabulary and connect deeply with their emotions and personal experiences. It continues to evolve and is celebrated for its artistic freedom and unique storytelling capabilities.
