DAN-2200 Intermediate Ballet I Credits 2 This course is an intermediate level of study in the classical ballet technique. At the barre, students focus on counterbalance, aplomb, épaulement, balancé and leg extensions of 90 degrees while executing exercises to the front (devant) and to the back (derriere) that includes dégagé with pas-de-cheval, petit battement frappé, développé, rond-de-jambe à terre, and grand battement. Center work will emphasize the eight positions of the body, an adagio sequence of 32 counts, and a single pirouette turns. In the center, students demonstrate a 3-step petit allegro combination and, across the floor, a 2-step grand allegro combination that demonstrates musicality and elevation. Students view a performance of classical ballet and compare/contrast an adagio and petit/grand allegro section. A final class performance will emphasize the learned components throughout the semester that highlights an intermediate level of accomplishment.
