The Course
The 5 day Easter School is open to students aged 12 to 18.
Applicants will be split in to three age groups:
- 12 to 14 years old
- 14 to 16 years old
- 16 to 18+ years old
You will be studying ballet at least three or four times per week at a standard equivalent to the Royal Academy of Dance's Grade 4/5 or above for 12 to 14 year olds and Advanced 1 or above for 16 to 18+ year olds.
During the day, the world-class faculty will be teaching classes in:
- Classical Ballet
- Repertoire
- Virtuosity
- Pointe Work (Girls Only)
- Group or Partnerwork
- Dance Anatomy
All the dance classes will have top class dance pianist playing to ensure the students learn, appreciate and experience the importance of musicality. Whether you are taking class, rehearsing a solo or performing to an audience, dancers must develop a deep understanding, commitment and ability to dance on the music. At the end of the day you will also have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of these great dance professionals with lectures and interviews giving you the chance to ask your very own questions in an informal and relaxed environment. One evening you will have the unique opportunity of watching professional dancers perform in the Easter School’s studio theatre. Once again, after the performance you will have the chance to ask your very own questions with the dancers. Last year’s students remarked that this was one of the highlights of the Easter School. To top it all off you will have the chance to show your parents or friends highlights of your experience at a performance on the last afternoon of the Easter School in the Studio Theatre with all the lights and drama of live theatre. Just imagine the excitement this intensive dance week will bring with this unique opportunity that will have lasting memories:-
- Personlised tuition from a world-class faculty
- Learning repertoire from the very dance professionals who have performed at Covent Garden and the great Opera Houses around the globe
- Meeting and making friends with fellow students with the same passion to persue a professional career
- Discovering and experiencing the excitement of watching professional dancers perform at close quarters as well as having the chance to talk with them afterwards
