SO POINTE/PAS DE DEUX

This course is designed to develop the artist’s knowledge of pointe technique through the emphasis of strength, mechanics, artistry, and precision.

This class also designed to develop the artist’s understanding of ballet and contemporary partnering. It will work to define the practices and techniques of shared movement and will encourage the artist to explore and examine how their individual body moves in space with another.
