Ballet VI and Classical Variations Fall 2006

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

Take his class, and you'll probably already start feeling a good workout by tendus. Robert LaFosse's classes tend to emphasize accents and shape in footwork, and presentation of movement. He likes to see that you're enjoying what you're doing, and milking the movements for what it's worth. The same goes for his variations class - he's all about style and personality. If you're not used to this, by the end of the term, he'll get you dancing.

Workload:

Ballet VI is your standard technique class, and his variations class covered about 6 variations, from La Sylphide to bournonville to Balanchine. In variations, he may ask you to do some background research on a ballet - it's not much, and it's useful when adapting an interpretation to the choreography.
