Ballet 1
This class will focus on classical techniques of the Vaganova method through preparatory movement exercises and choreographic combinations at the barre, in center, and across the floor. Competition dancers will learn vocabulary, proper body alignment, precision and execution of ballet positions and movements, strength and stability, turnout, and musicality. Dancers will further utilize their technique to enhance their artistry and performance skills, and they will also have the opportunity for self-expression to move creatively.
Ballet 2 & 3
Integrating a fusion between the Vaganova method and a contemporary ballet discipline, competition dancers will develop artistry and athleticism that creates a deeper understanding on how to dance with their whole bodies, in the studio and onstage. Incorporating progressive exercises and choreographic combinations at the barre, in center, and across the floor, this class will focus on technical and challenging movement with an emphasis on proper body alignment, balance, strength and stability, turnout, fluidity, precision and execution of movement, musicality, dynamic movement qualities, and exploring greatest range of motion. In addition, students will further utilize their technique to enhance their performance skills, express their own unique identities and individualities through movement, and push themselves beyond their boundaries outside of the classical ballet world.
