Course Description

Summary

Sheridan: This studio practice course in Ballet is based on the American style influenced by George Balanchine. We will deep-dive into our exploration of neoclassical and contemporary ballet modalities while focusing on anatomical alignment, strength, flexibility, coordination, connectivity, and expressivity. Through our practice, we will discover the freedom within the movement. The form is now something we can mold around ourselves with endless possibilities instead of trying to mold ourselves into the form. We will move, together, to know. Caserta: This is a studio practice course in Contemporary Ballet technique with explorations into neoclassical and contemporary choreography. The course will focus on Ballet as an evolving form through attention to expressivity, musicality and even improvisation. Cultural influences on the form will be examined in relation to contemporary dance practices. Recognizable warm up exercises begin each class followed by expansive repertory and sequencing as a mode of investigation and research. We will ask ourselves, “how adaptable is ballet?”
