Analysis of new elements (orientation list):

a la barre:

exercises at the barre include new elements for detailed analysis. Combinations require perfect mastery of a whole scale elements and expression increasing in difficulty.

au millieu:

all types of grand fouette, all types of grand pirouettes and tours from various preparations and various phrasings, all in reverse.

Based on learning of the most difficult elements, students create difficult phrases and combinations based on 7th and 8th year curriculums, and combinations for work in professional ensembles. This phase of instruction is geared towards the mastery of classical dance technique.

Musical accompaniment is very diverse. The tempos begin, in many case, to become very quick.

Although with A. Vaganova, we find a particular representative of a method of classical dance instruction, students are introduced to other instruction systems whose, rise is linked with other great figures in dance (ex: Cecchetti, Bournonville, Balanchine) and their differences are compared.

Observations in schools and theatres provide opportunities to understand the diversity of work and approaches of instructors to students or professioanl dancers.
