We’re so excited to bring you this new episode after what feels like forever since we recorded or shared with you, but we’re back with a mini series of ‘coffee break conversations’ about ballet studio etiquette.
Enjoy this episode where we dissect the past year, and round it up, and share with you our plans for 2022, both professionally and personally.
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.
We are discussing the use of tempo rubato, and whether there is a need for it, and if so, when and where in ballet class.
How do you feel the tenduness of a tendu? Sometimes it’s slow and then other times it’s fast! Discussions about mazurkas, polonaises, slow Scottish reels and slushy jazz standards.
We asked you to provide some questions of ballet and music topics that you wanted answering, and we did!
This episode is all about the misunderstandings that can happen in a ballet class, including timing, tempo, time signatures, and also when things have been miscommunicated by the teacher or the pianist.
We bring you an exciting new episode this week and it’s about playing for repertoire, solo and variation class.
