DAN-2220 Intermediate Ballet II Credits 2 This course is a second level intermediate study of the classical ballet technique. Students execute, at the barre, exercises in combination focusing on greater complexity of two or more steps, multiple patterns, and greater precision. Emphasis placed on balances on one leg, relevés on one leg, and extensions of 90 degrees or above. In the center, students demonstrate a center adagio sequence of 32 counts to include a single leg balance, a leg extension of 90 degrees, or greater, to the front, à la seconde, and arabesque positions. Additionally, students demonstrate a pirouette combination with a double pirouette en dehors and a single pirouette en dedans. Across the floor students execute combinations of sequencing three or more steps demonstrating musicality, multiple elevations, and a change of direction. Students view a performance of classical ballet and analyze a dance section on the dancers’ technical abilities and performance qualities. A final class performance to emphasize the learned components throughout the semester that highlight a second level intermediate skill.
