This session is designed for the dancer who wants to move beyond the physical mechanics of the steps and tap into the soulful expression of classical dance. Throughout the lesson, we focus on the intersection of breath, musicality, and stage presence.
The choreography incorporates a specialized plié combination and a soulful port de bras adagio set to a curated selection of beautiful classical music. This class even features a subtle homage to Myrtha from the iconic ballet Giselle, providing a thematic anchor for your performance. We dive deep into the technical execution of movements such as fondu, développé, and pas de cheval, ensuring that every extension and transition is infused with intention.
By focusing on the fluidity of the port de bras, you will learn how to use your arms to tell a story and convey complex emotions. The adagio section challenges your control and balance, requiring a mindful connection between your core and your extremities. Whether you are working on your arabesque or refining your transitions through the spine and vertebrae, this class offers a comprehensive approach to artistic development.
