Learning objective:
Repertory of classical ballet prepares students to teach stage practice and repertory for conservatories and dance schools.
Attention is paid to the CBT methodology for each stage of the training separately and the subsequent application in repertory and stage practice, so that conservatory and dance school students go systematically in their training and are not placed unnecessarily high repertoire demands (if they have not covered the material in classical ballet classes) or vice versa.
Teaching includes learning about the repertory of the great choreographers of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, finding and compiling model variations for all eight years of conservatory dance, as well as sensitively adapting and intervening in given choreographies/variations/dances for specific age and performance levels.
Thematic areas:
-Introduction to 19th, 20th and 21st century classical and neoclassical ballet repertory
-Working with choreography - sensitive interventions in the given choreographies in order to follow the methodology of the given year
-Composing repertory for 2nd and 3rd year conservatoires
-Variations and ensemble dances from the ballets Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, La Fille mal Gardée, The Nutcracker, Don Quixote, La Bayadère, etc.
Learning outcomes

Gain an overview of the classical ballet repertory and the ability to teach choreography. Masters the ability to adapt choreography to a given grade - student's level of advancement.
