Video can add such amazing backdrops to events.

How can you teach PORT DE BRAS to your Ballet students so that they understand the terminology? This video should do the trick! Enjoy!! https://lnkd.in/d4MZ4rKn

It's important to develop artistic and expressive skills alongside technical skills in ballet class. But it can be difficult to suss out what, exactly, artistic elements are. In the first video in this series, I share information about line--what it is, what it isn't, and how to develop it throughout all levels of training. #ballet #danceeducation #danceteacher #balletdancer

My first digital dance program review! That's right, my first.   I'll confess: I'm a little late to the game. Several years ago, due largely to the COVID-19 pandemic, dance companies across the globe started experimenting with delivering contemporaneous performances on demand. Today, what we call 'digital dance programs' are an established part of the regular season.   This phenomenon in part inspired my undergraduate research on the digital mediatization of ballet, or why, how, and to what effect the very fibers of ballet are actually transforming to meet new digital media logic (pretty cool stuff, right?). I put this idea on the back burner for some time but was reminded of it last weekend while watching Pacific Northwest Ballet's latest digital program 'The Times Are Racing'.   While the resounding question when writing my thesis was 'is a digital dance program possible?', it's safe to say we've advanced to asking the question: What makes a digital dance program good? I'm excited to continue exploring this and other important topics in dance with The Ballet Herald®.   Check out my most recent review ⬇️ and others at www.balletherald.com to learn more about the most pressing conversations in dance.

As a ballerina myself, I really love how this video illustrates the high level of detail and synchronisation required for a corps de ballet to dance as one. These qualities mirror many foundational principles of social innovation design, where collaboration and unity are key. I explore parallels between ballet and social impact in my latest Substack article. Link in my bio.

Second Position✨🩰 In second position of the feet in ballet, they are in line with the shoulders and rotated from the hips in a turned out position. This position is also used as an introductory position that is usually learned after first position. #BarreBelleBallet #danceeducation #secondpositionballet #charlottenc #thenewway #cultureforall
