A rare opportunity for adults, the repertoire class will give students a chance to learn a group selection from a classical ballet.
Beginner Level: Some previous knowledge of ballet is assumed. Simple barre exercises will focus on building strength and reviewing ballet vocabulary and terminology. Center work will incorporate exercises from the barre in adagios, simple pirouettes, and small and medium jumps.
Intermediate Level: Significant previous knowledge of ballet is assumed. Barre exercises will focus on increasing speed and complexity. Center work will included longer adagios, more complicated pirouettes and the addition of grand allegro. Coordination of arm and leg movements, increased strength in the lower body and development of grace and fluidity in the upper body will be stressed.
