Short summary of the content
The student learns the structure of classical ballet education based on the NBA Syllabus.
7 teaching years are covered that are connected to the seven-year Preliminary Training within the NBA structure.

Each year is built around the structure of a ballet class: barre, centrework, allegro and pointe work. The student is expected to learn the final objectives of each year, to be able to create examples of exercises with the final objectives that can be applied in practice and to be able to apply the starting points of Methodology of the NBA to the various years of study.

The final objectives and connection within the different year groups are clearly discussed and the course is deepened in how the NBA teaches the technique, at which moments there are options and which starting points are important within the structure of classical ballet education and the structure of lessons.
