Technique and Repertoire
Masterclass
22-25 October
Ballet Class
The technical class will focus on Royal Ballet technique, style, and musicality.
One of the most endearing qualities of a Royal Ballet Dancer is their quality of movement. It is extremely important to work on the Dynamic of each movement. Other qualities such as Musicality and Performance are also lost in the cloud of technique obsession.
In these classes students will focus on making ballet enjoyable to watch and to dance, and they will be working on the artistry of ballet.
​
Choreography
Students will be learning excerpts from the original Ballet ‘Little Red and The Wolf’ and ‘Symphony No1’.
‘Little Red and The Wolf’ is the story of Little Red Riding Hood, rewritten by Ross Freddie Ray and staged in Moscow. It was performed to 10,000 people in the opening weekend.
‘Symphony No1’ Is an original piece that focuses on classical technique with a modern and exciting twist.
