Les Sylphides - Ballet Variations Workshop Beginners/Intermediary to Advance Level / Pointes welcomed too - 7th of March
The ballet, described as a “romantic reverie”, is frequently cited as the first ballet to be simply about mood and dance. Les Sylphides has no plot but instead consists of several white-clad sylphs dancing in the moonlight with the “poet” or “young man” dressed in white tights and a black tunic.
Its original choreography was by Michel Fokine, with music by Frédéric Chopin orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov. Glazunov had already set some of the music in 1892 as a purely orchestral suite, under the title Chopiniana, Op. 46 In that form, it was introduced to the public in December 1893, conducted by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
We will take the ensemble part and work the steps. The beautiful atmosphere that Chopin’s music creates will make you discover a new feeling while performing this Romantic Ballet.
The workshop is open for Beginners and Intermediate to Advance Levels.

Ballet Technique Workshop Beginners/Intermediary to Advance Level
You will learn everything that you should know about postures, poses, and space. Arabesque and Echarte, why is Croise different from Efface. Everyone who is joining the wonderful world of ballet should know these notions, exercises will become friendlier and the accomplishments will be greater! We hear about so-called ballet techniques. What are these? Well, by technique, the general public often refers to the method. Thus, for example, classical academic dance has only one teaching technique, but it has many methods of education, respectively its “processing”. One of the most famous classical dance methods and schools is Vaganova. It was designed by A. Y. Vaganova in 1921, with the establishment of the St. Petersburg Choreographic School. Vaganova wanted to create this technique because he knew the gaps in the ballet company of the Russian Imperial Theater regarding the training and education of the ballerinas. She had been a pupil of the great first ballerina Evghenia Sokolova (who had also studied with Ekaterina Vazem, Christian Johansson, Lev Ivanov, Enrico Cecchetti, Nikolai Legat, and Pavel Gerdt – founders of classical dance in Russia) and after graduating the school was taken, protected and by Marius Petipa.
