Artistry in Motion: This year’s intensive will focus on the artistry of ballet. Dancers will learn and progress ballet technique with a set-barre curriculum and then work on choreography for the remainder of the intensive. The adult dancer will develop muscular endurance, improved balance, and start to emote the nuances of musicality in their classwork. Participants of the Advanced Beginner Program will leave with improved knowledge of where, how, and why we create the lines we do in ballet as well as the ability to fully execute and express themselves artistically.
