Ballet for Contemporary Dancers (Age 12-16)
February 2, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
$175January 12 – February 23
7 weeks
In this seven-week series, dancers will explore the form and function of ballet in a positive, healthy environment. Ballet can give our young dancers more tools to do the many tasks that may be asked of them in current and future dance environments. Classes will introduce or reinforce vocabulary and encourage somatic approaches to the technique. This allows students to feel where the movement comes from in the body, rather than simply making a shape.
This class will be co-taught by Silvia Burstein-Hendi and Sara Lavan, who have decades of experience with ballet, contemporary dance, and somatic practices. This series is designed for dancers who are new to ballet or have had limited, or inconsistent experience it.
