DAN-2330 High Intermediate Ballet III

Credits 2
This course is a third-level high intermediate study of classical ballet technique. The students’ execution at the ballet barre is at a high level of execution, and students execute a complete barre sequence on one side without stoppage. Any necessary pointe work is further incorporated to expand on ankle strength and balance. In the center, students demonstrate a more extended traditional classical adagio variation highlighting leg extensions and multiple turns. Pointe work is included, if necessary, to challenge the student further. Students execute a 32-count petit allegro highlighting endurance. Across the floor, students demonstrate a traditional grand allegro variation with multiple-floor crossings. Students perform the learned extended-length classical adagio variation and additional classroom choreography in a final public performance.
Prerequisite(s): DAN-2320 or permission of the Academic Coordinator of Dance.
