Ballet/Pointe/Variation
Advanced Ballet class is reserved for seriously minded students with several years of ballet training, who have successfully mastered the fundamentals and intermediate steps. This is a fast-paced technique class providing necessary physical challenges to improve stamina and to develop–quickly and efficiently–a higher degree of artistry. Significant increase in dedication, self-discipline, and time commitment are expected. Advanced Ballet students will learn to move in a big way, dancing over the individual steps and musical phrases in a continuous movement. They will work on achieving total stability and great strength. By the end of the year students will be able to deftly maneuver their bodies featuring high jumps and turns that will appear light and effortless.Teaching will focus on polishing up the nuances of complex pirouettes, and on bringing to perfection many more adagios, allegros, and other strong work exercises. Great attention is paid to students’ performance quality by practicing variation form classical ballets.
