Among the usual stage elements, we arrange some elements of classical dance, ex: walk, run, polonaise, pas Polka, pas balance, pas de basque (stage form), temps leve in 1st, 2nd and 3rd arabesque, pas chasse and pas glissade. Aside from this, there is instruction in working with space and we develop musicality.

We introduce principles of working with a professional ensemble.

Instructors adopt skills in creating small choreographic compositions in the spirit of developing dance, partnering and musicality. Later the instructor approaches the study of simple dance block from a repertoire adopting skills of measured intervention and abilities in effective adjustmest to the original choreography considering the level of difficulty, individual talent of the pupils and number of pupils in the given lesson. Variations are selected from the repertoire which are instructed in the instruction curriculum at Dance conservatories, ex: Waltz from the First act of Sleepoing Beauty (childrens part) - according to Petipa's choreography, pas de trois from The Nutcracker (Vajnonen's version), pas de quatre of the Swan in Swan Lake or the adagio from Paquita (corps) according to Petipa's choreography.
