This workshop is for curious people interested in unpacking their relationship to RIGOR within ballet, whether they are actively dancing, not dancing, mostly teaching, primarily practicing a different dance form, or anything in between. What does a “good”, “successful”, or “productive” ballet class look like and feel like? Where do we source our energy to train and how can we adjust the dials of our motivation as needed due to our circumstance, schedule, or physical health? The workshop will consist of facilitated discussion, some journaling, contemporary floor movement designed to make the body feel warm, loose, and joyful, and standing center ballet movement with a focus on expanding our curiosity and sensitivity within familiar steps.
