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 dance repertoire.

-Working with choreography - sensitive interventions in the given choreographies in order to follow the methodology of the given year

-Composing repertoire for the 7th and 8th year conservatoires

-Variations and choral dances from ballets such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Giselle, The Waste Land, Don Quixote, La Bayadere, Raymonda, Romeo and Juliet, Marco Spada, Gayane, La Esmeralda, Grand pas de Quatre, The Dying Swan, Tchaikovsky's Pas de deux, The Pharaoh's Daughter, Manon, Stars and Stripes, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Lady with the Camellias, etc.
