This unit focuses on developing a high level of technical skill and artistry in ballet. You will work on refining your classical technique across a range of movements, exercises and choreographic styles, building consistency and precision in your performance. The training covers barre work, centre practice, allegro, pointe or demi-pointe work, and the coordination of musicality with movement.
This unit suits you if you already have a foundation in ballet and are looking to deepen your technical ability to a more advanced level. It is particularly relevant if you are working toward a career as a performer or are training in a structured dance program where classical technique is a core requirement.
After completing this unit, you will be able to demonstrate ballet technique with greater control, accuracy and expressive quality across a variety of repertoire. You will be able to apply technical corrections, manage your physical preparation, and perform with the consistency expected in a professional or semi-professional dance context.
