Classical Ballet Classes
The Vaganova Method of Training
Pre-Ballet (ages 5 – 8)
An introduction to dance for
the young child, these lessons also serve as a preparation for those who
will progress to classical ballet training. Within the setting of a
structured and goal oriented lesson there is an emphasis on rhythm and
musical awareness, coordination and strengthening work, self-expression and
joy of movement. Classes will also introduce chil1dren to the history,
music, stories and costuming of classical ballet. Students attend one
60 minute class a week.3
Level I
The elementary lessons have
as a goal the assimilation of the diverse positions of the arms, legs, feet,
head and trunk of the body and also the development of basic habits of
coordination and musicality. Students attend two 60 minute lessons a
week. Approximate length of study: 2 years.
Level II
The goals include
solidifying the work accomplished during the previous years, adding a
greater number of repetitions and at a faster tempo; development of strength
of the legs and feet through the use of demi-pointe; using
épaulement in many exercises; and adding elementary turning movements in
preparation for tours. Students meeting the physical and
technical requirements will begin pointe work at this level.
Students attend two 90 minute lessons a week which includes pre-pointe
work for girls, and vocabulary for boys. Approximate length of study:
1-2 years.
Level III
Students at this level are
introduced to more complex movements and combinations and begin studying
center exercises on demi-pointe, and the practice of tours
and beats. The pace is accelerated and goals include muscular control,
a mastery of the elementary exercises, purity of style and artistry.
Students attend three 90 minute lessons a week, which include pointe
lessons, stretch class, and participate in repertory and master class
workshops when scheduled.
Approximate length of study:1-2 years.
Level IV
The goals include mastery of all previous vocabulary, more complex
combinations and exercises done on
demi-pointe (girls en pointe), performance skills, and
the development of accomplished and esthetic dancers. Students at this
level are encouraged to attend four 90 minute lessons a week, pointe
and partnering lessons, and participate in enrichment activities.
Approximate length of study: 4 years.
Men's Technique
The men's class focuses on simple lines, strength, and complex movements of
the male classical dancer. It is designed to give male dancers the strength
and agility to perform various jumps and turns with a strong sense of line
and body position. Men's Technique also focuses on the powerful yet elegant
carriage of the upper body. It is a class that is essential in developing a
strong male classical ballet artist.
Adult/Teen Ballet
These lessons are aimed
at providing those older students who have had little or no training with
the opportunity to begin study at an elementary level, progressing through
the syllabus at a pace that fits the needs of the particular group of
students.
European Contemporary
European Contemporary
European Contemporary infuses classical ballet technique into more
pedestrian-like types of movement. The upper body is used more freely while
the lower body is that of a precise classical technician. The class extends
the expression and lines of students, allowing them to discover their
ability to link everyday rituals and personalities with more abstract
approaches to shapes and movement.
Yopilates
A fusion of Yoga and Pilates techniques which fine tune and develop a
balanced body, instruction is designed to focus on the special needs and
abilities of either the novice non-dancer or the experienced dancer.
Ballroom Dance
Traditional dance styles are introduced, practiced and mastered in a series
of classes for the Adult student who wishes to combine exercise, fun, and
social interaction within the context of serious dance training with master
teachers who can demonstrate ideal technique and encourage even the most
timid and under confident participant!
