Short summary of the content
The Male Technique and Pointe classes are an extension of the classical ballet class where the focus is on complex jumps and turns for the men and the extensive pointe work for the women. In addition to expanding and improving the technique, the students work on developing their bravura technique. The lessons are also preparatory, because the material that is being worked on can be used in the variation and repertoire lessons.
Learning goals
The student:
- develops knowledge of new steps, learns complicated jump and turn combinations (men) and challenging pointe work (women).
- can perform complex combinations and develop knowledge of the bravura technique.
- can connect with what is learned in the classical ballet class and with what is expected in the variation and repertory class.
- is able to recognize, name and actively use different musical rhythms, coordination and matching idioms
Method(s) used
In group lessons, the student learns complicated combinations and bravura technique. There is also a lot of individual coaching in these classes.
In AD 2, this lesson can also be used (like the variation lesson) as preparation for audition videos and material that can be filmed for auditions.
