Class Details

This course is for ANYONE interested in learning more about ballet, through a variety of experiences. First, of course, will be physical practice. For those who have no (or little) prior ballet training, you’ll learn the fundamentals of ballet technique in a safe but challenging class; separate classes will be held for intermediate/advanced dancers. All course participants will gather together twice a week for movie/documentary viewings–a wide range of films (primarily) about ballet and ballet dancers from around the world–and once a week for lectures and group discussions, either in a seminar format or during a meal, about the films as well as the history and/or current context related to them. Reading material and other viewings will also be assigned so that all students have a grasp of the overarching history of ballet.
