Intermediate/Advanced Ballet with optional Pointe
This mixed level class is designed to help students maintain strength and reach their individual goals over the summer. We will emphasize different aspects of technique on different days - jumps, turns, balances, etc - to dive deeper into how each dancer can reach their peak success.
Modern/Contemporary
Modern dance is more experimental than classical ballet. This class explores an understanding of the movements of the spine, expanded dance vocabulary, alignment, and musicality through full-bodied phrases. Movement vocabulary draws from an influence of Limon, Cunningham, and contemporary styles. The class will expand the dancer's qualitative range and investigate nuance and detail for greater depth in performance.
Character Dance
Classes will progress through the fundamental movements of character technique, which references European folk and national dances. The structure will be similar to a ballet class, incorporating barre and center work, with special attention to the mechanical and stylistic differences between classical and character movement vocabularies. Center will include classroom exercises and excerpts from repertoire (La Sylphide, Coppélia, Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty).
Stretch
This class is geared toward overall conditioning, stamina, and challenging muscles that are not targeted as much in a classical ballet structure. Exercises are done at the barre, on the floor, and standing. No props or tools are required.
