Occasionally we will be dropping ‘in conversation’ interviews with some leading people in the world of ballet. We’ll be talking to them about their lives, careers and as always – there’ll be funny stories along the way.
In this episode we’re talking to David Yow, former principal of Birmingham Royal Ballet.
nstalment of the Q&A episode where we continue to answer questions sent in to us via email and the social media channels. This episode is slightly lighter hearted with lots of funny anecdotes.
We transfer from barre to centre, with this first exercise which is a centre port de bras. The pianists discuss how they adapt their repertoire for this particular exercise.
Traditionally speaking, ballet is a physical art form, and a discipline, and over the centuries, how dancers, teachers, and pianists behave in the studio has evolved.
We discuss in this episode what we think are the most important aspects of studio etiquette that enhance the art form.
The podcast team then discuss some of the celebrations and the pitfalls of Grand Battement and how they help the dancers complete their barre successfully and get ready for the centre.
