Short summary of the content
The student learns the structure of classical ballet education on the basis of the NBA Syllabus.
Seven teaching years are discussed that are connected to the seven-year Preparatory Course and AD1 year within the NBA structure. (The AD2 year is considered a pre-professional year and so the Syllabus ends in AD1).
Each year is built around the structure of a ballet class: barre, centrework, allegro and pointe work. The student is expected to learn the attainment targets of each year, to be able to create examples of exercises with the attainment targets that can be applied in practice and to be able to apply the principles of NBA Methodology to the different grades.
The attainment targets and connections within the different year groups are clearly discussed and the course deepens into how the NBA teaches the technique, at which moments there are options and which principles are important within the structure and structure of lessons.
