Foundations and Progressions of Classical Ballet Technique: Content I

This half day practical workshop has been designed for trainee and early career RAD ballet teachers, along with RAD ballet teachers wishing to refresh their knowledge, understanding and application of the principles and foundations which underpin RAD syllabi.

The workshop will focus in detail on selected vocabulary and movements as detailed in The Foundations of Classical Ballet Technique and The Progressions of Classical Ballet Technique. Participants will be provided with opportunities to perform, discuss and reflect on the ballet vocabulary which is core to the learning and teaching of ballet, and RAD syllabi.
