Dance 324 - Advanced Ballet

'Emphasizes stability (aplomb) in various turning movements and exercises done on demi-pointe and full pointe. The students will work on improving their classical form through emphasis placed on the plasticity of the arms and torso. As the semester progresses, all possible approaches to the given movements will be developed. At this level the musical interpretation will enhance the complexity of the ballet exercises. The last half hour of class will be devoted to strengthening pointe technique.'
