Description
Summer Ballet Explorations!Mini-Dancers, Pre-Ballet, and Ballet 1 participants will explore the art of ballet-making this summer. as well as dancing!Our dancers will not only learn and choreograph the dances, but they will create and tell the story of the ballets in their own way, using props, drawings and simple crafts that highlight each tale.
Each level will spotlight a different ballet story and its music. The Mini- Dancers will present a dancing collage of fairy tale princesses and superheroes, creating stories and adapting dances from such famous ballets as "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty". The Pre-Ballet Class will travel to Neverland for "Peter Pan", the story of a boy who never grew up. The Ballet I Class will interpret the magical story of a fairy kingdom, mortals in love, and a ragamuffin band of actors-Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream"!
For our last class session, we will present our work for family and friends during class time.
