Ballet appreciation course

Due to popular demand, I am adding a second session of my six-week ballet appreciation course, Introduction to the National Ballet of Canada season, on Tuesday evenings, 6 - 7:45, to accommodate those of you who can't attend on Monday mornings. The course will go from October 19 to November 23, at the National Ballet of Canada offices at the Walter Carsen Centre, 470 Queens Quay West, just west of Spadina, on both the Spadina and Exhibition streetcar routes. I have been having a lot of fun researching this course and I have many juicy tidbits to impart!

Here is the course outline:

Enrich your experience of ballet in general and the seven programs in the National Ballet of Canada's season in particular with insights into the choreography, the design, and the music. Where appropriate and available, video clips will be used, along with demonstrations of certain steps and postures to help you identify distinctive choreographic styles. Depending on the repertoire, we may look at the ballet's performance history, learn about the choreographer's life and works and the historical context in which the ballet was created, examine the story on which the ballet is based, study ballet mime, and compare different versions of the same ballet.  Deepen your appreciation of the technical aspects of dance by learning to recognize a different ballet step by name each week and understanding its physical challenges.

Tours en l'air helps you not only to get more ballet out of life, but also to get more out of ballet.

Course fee is $199. To register, please email me at toursenlair@gmail.com
