  • Spotlight Ballet Rules* Ballet Students Who Will Be Attending a Dance
    Spotlight Ballet Rules* Ballet students who will be attending a dance program away from home and outside of Southern California during the Spotlight year and whose parent(s) still live in Southern California may participate in Spotlight as long as they attend auditions, rehearsal and final performance if advancing to Grand Finale Performance. Proof of study will be required from dance program. You may not be an apprentice or full time member of a professional ballet company and participate in Spotlight. What’s required of me for my Ballet Preliminary 1 video audition? All students begin with a Preliminary 1 video audition. Those scoring highest will advance to Preliminary 2 live auditions in February 2019. Those scoring highest after Preliminary 2 will advance to the Semifinals Please record yourself performing one solo from the required list below If selected to advance to Preliminary 2, you will perform two solos for your live audition. You can change your variations if you advance to Preliminary 2 In choosing a variation for your video recording, we encourage you to choose a solo that best reflects your current stage of technical and artistic abilities. It is not necessary to perform an Etoile or Principal variation if you are not quite ready to tackle it. Choose a solo variation that best fits where you are in your studies and allows you to shine! Some examples of soloist variations that might be good choices are: Princess Florine from The Sleeping Beauty Act lll or any of The Sleeping Beauty fairies, the Peasant pas de deux from Giselle (Act I) or Cupid from Paquita, Friends of Kitri from Don Quixote (Act I), Fairy Doll, Harlequinade, Odalisques from Le Corsaire (Act I), Flames of Paris or the pas de trois from Swan Lake (Act I).

  • Swan Lake 3Rd Act, Pas De Deux, the Black Swan, Variation
    #RosetaMauri2017 Spotlight on variations! Swan Lake 3rd act, pas de deux, the Black Swan, variation MALE VARIATION By Carlos Labiós I have chosen this variation, because in my opinion is the variation par excellence for the male dancer. It has everything that is requested at the technical and acting level. The dancer has to have a very refined technique for this variation in terms of the jump and the spin, as well as an exquisite elegance at the moment of performing the steps. The dancer must possess a perfect control of the jump plus a perfect double tour en l'air, especially for the final part of the variation, since there is a series of tours en l'air facing the audience, in which the technique using the 5th position while jumping is very important. In terms of stamina, is not very complicated since the variation allows the dancer to breath enough. Let's not forget that we are playing the Prince! He is still thinking about the lake where he met Odette. He has already ruled out marrying any other princess. But, now, he is enthusiastic about Odile, although he hasn’t lost his nobility, which is reflected upon the variation. Musically it is a perfect variation for the male dancer technique, with pauses, with weight, with a perfect push to use the jump and with a melody that I personally adore. I love both the beginning and the middle part with the jumps to the second and arabesque, and especially the grand finale with the tour en l'air and the final pirouettes.

Dictionary of Classical Ballet Terminology can be easy for a beginner to feel lost with all of the terminology! These movements are typically done after warmup and closer toward the last part of class to avoid injury, and to maximize a dancers range while warmed up. Abstract ballet are ballets without a plot unlike the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, etc. Most often, contemporary ballets are considered abstract ballets. Arabesque is a position in ballet where the body is supported on a single leg, while the other leg is extended directly behind the body with a straight knee. There are several different versions of arabesque such as first, second, and third arabesque. They can also be done at different heights or with a straight leg or in plie. The basics being that the two legs join together in the air. An attitude is a position where the dancers stands on one leg with the other lifted, either in the front, or back. The leg that is in the air is usually slightly bent at the knee, creating an approximate degree angle. En avant refers to moving towards the front.

    Teacher’s Handbook 1 Edited by: Carol Meeder – Director of Arts Education February 2006 Cover Photo: Jennifer Langenstein – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Aaron Ingley – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Corps de Ballet Dancer Ric Evans – Photographer 2 Introduction Dear Educator, We have often thanked you, the academic community and educators of our children, for being partners with us in Arts Education. We have confirmed how the arts bring beauty, excitement, and insight into the experience of everyday living. Those of us who pursue the arts as the work of our lives would find the world a dark place without them. We have also seen, in a mirror image from the stage, how the arts bring light, joy, and sparkle into the eyes and the lives of children and adults in all walks of life. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre strives not only to entertain but to demonstrate the significance and importance of presenting our art in the context of past history, present living, and vision for the future. In this quest we present traditional ballets based on classic stories revered for centuries, such as Coppelia and Cinderella; and contemporary ballets by artists who are living, working, and creating everyday, such as our jazz program Indigo In Motion and the premiers we have done to the music of Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. In this way we propel our art into the future, creating new classics that subsequent generations will call traditional. It is necessary to see and experience both, past and present. It enhances our life and stirs new ideas. We have to experience where we came from in order to develop a clear vision of where we want to go.

  • Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes's Coppélia by Arthur E. Lafex Submitted To
    Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia By Copyright 2013 Arthur E. Lafex Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin ________________________________ Paul R. Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street Date Defended: April 15, 2013 The Thesis Committee for Author (Arthur E. Lafex) certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin Date approved: April 15, 2013 ii Abstract Léo Delibes (1836-1891) wrote ballet scores that have inspired composers and have entertained generations of ballet lovers. His scores have been cited for their tunefulness, appropriateness for their narrative, and for their danceability. However, Delibes remains an obscure figure in music history, outside the musical canon of the nineteenth century. Likewise, his ballet music, whose harmonic resources are conventional and whose forms are variants of basic structures, has not received much scholarly and theoretical attention. This thesis addresses Delibes’s music by examining his ballet score for Coppélia, its support of narrative and also its support of dance. Chapter 1 begins with a historical view of ballet and ballet music up to the time of Delibes. Following a biographical sketch of the composer, a review of aspects of the score for Giselle by his mentor, Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) establishes a background upon which Delibes’s ballets can be considered.
