5 Day Ballet Repertoire Workshop - La Bayadère with Arina Trostyanetskaya

The Trio from La Bayadère is a great example of classical ballet repertoire. The elegance and weightless flow of this piece perfectly combine the precision of academic ballet technique and the expressive, romantic essence of the art form.

In theatres, the Trio from La Bayadère is typically performed by first and second soloists. However, despite its technical demands, the choreography is created through fundamental elements practiced in every ballet class.

 

This workshop is open to all dancers with foundational basic ballet experience!

5 day Contemporary Floorwork Workshop with Keren-or Ben Shachar

In this week-long workshop, we will be working in depth on floorwork technique by practicing elements that focus on our relationship with the floor. we will work with sliding, rolling, crawling, jumping, and running, challenge verticality, and experiment with new movement patterns.

Each session will start with a warm-up followed by floorwork elements, which will be integrated into dance phrases inspired by ‘flying low technique.’ Throughout the week, we will build on our skills and explore how we can combine qualities of softness and precision, as we smoothly transition and dance through the different levels (i.e. floor, mid-level, standing). Once we become familiar with the patterns, we will work with different speeds, directions in space, add movement complexity and introduce soft acrobatics elements. Additionally, to the technical work, we will keep our joy of moving and dancing together!

The workshop is open to people at an intermediate level and for those with basic contemporary dance experience. While participants should be familiar with basic movements and transitions between standing and floor-based work, the class will also be adapted to accommodate and support the range of skills level.

It is recommended to bring long pants & a long sleeved shirt for protecting the skin when sliding / working with the floor.

Whether you’re preparing for an audition, a performance, or just looking to try something new, it’s a rewarding piece to add to your repertoire!
