DANC 268 High Intermediate Ballet Technique IV

This course provides a continued reinforcement of the aesthetics of classical ballet with emphasis on placement and alignment of the body and other preparatory work necessary for the maintenance of a sound technical foundation as well as the development of performance quality. This course emphasizes increasing technical proficiency, improving anatomical awareness, and developing deeper understanding of the skills and principles of ballet technique. Students at this level must be competent at the intermediate level and ready to perform longer and more complex movement sequences that approach a fuller level of synthesis and performance qualities.
