Course Objectives A study of the advanced level of classical ballet based on the syllabus of Agrippina Vaganova. • Development of agility and mobility through complicated adagios. • Emphasis is placed on allegro, which at this level becomes one of the foundations of the science of the dance. • The goal of this course is to understand the need for, and achieve, full coordination of all movements of the human body in the art of dance. Course Outline Classes focus on ballet technique, followed by rehearsals for the Loyola Ballet Concert. Students are not only exposed to the classical repertoire by performing in a classical ballet, but also to other forms of dance by studying character, jazz, or contemporary works. In addition to growth on a technical level, this course emphasizes the importance of infusing ideas and moods into movements learned in the technique class and giving them expressiveness and artistry.
