Classical Ballet
a clear language
Elizabeth Corbett offers a rigorous Classical Ballet class with emphasis on alignment, musicality and discovering freedom to move well in this genre. She forms the class drawing from dance experiences traditional to unconventional. You will explore organisation of directions in the body and in space to clarify and simplify body placement issues and mechanics, differentiation in movement qualities, weight, speed and focus as major issues. Elizabeth draws from her professional dance experience (William Forsythe, AT De Keersmaeker, The Joffrey Ballet), background in classical dance education (The School of American Ballet, The Joffrey School/Meridith Baylis, Marjorie Mussman, The National Academy of Dance), and current influences from classical to contemporary as she continues teaching, studying and creating work.
