This 3- 1/2 hour webinar aims to revisit vocabulary of various levels. This would include aspects of petit allegro, allegro, grand allegro and batterie. There will be discussion on analysis, and identification of significant progression where appropriate.
A discussion on how to train the step or use of preparation movements, which might focus on use of space, change of alignment, turning and varying levels of elevation. An emphasis on precision of the movement, use of weight, anticipation, correct timing, dynamics and coordinated port de bras are all part of the course.
Aims
The aims of this activity are to:
- Explore in-depth, allegro steps that feature through the RAD levels through practical tasks and discussion, and
- Revitalise understanding of allegro vocabulary and heighten motivation through interactive sharing of ideas.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the activity, you will have:
- Revised analysis and recognised progression from a selection of allegro steps from the RAD syllabi,
- Be more aware of how anticipation, use of space and weight placement, coordination of port de bras, timing and dynamics can improve the precision required of allegro, and
- Be revitalised in the approach to teaching allegro steps from the RAD syllabi.
