DANC 215C Ballet Technique II

This course focuses on the principles, practices and vocabulary common to classical ballet technique through a daily practice of warm-up exercises at the barre and movement combinations both in the center and across the floor. The knowledge acquired at the barre is tested in the center through the adagio and allegro sections of the class. Adagio tests balance and fosters a lyrical quality while allegro tests coordination, articulation and the ability to move quickly and softly through space. Emphasis is placed on physical conditioning, coordination, alignment, clarity, movement pick-up and artistry.
