Elements Contemporary Ballet Summer Workshop

ECB dancer Tetyana Martyanova

Elements Contemporary Ballet Summer Workshop introduces the young ballet dancer to ECB's style, methods, and choreography.   Participants study contemporary ballet technique with Artistic Director Mike Gosney, receiving personal coaching designed to expand the dancer's range of movement while developing his or her ability to make independent artistic choices.  Workshop students will also have the opportunity to work in a professional rehearsal setting with company dancers, inspiring the creation of new choreography through guided improvisation, as well as learning excerpts from the ECB's original repertoire.  The classes culminate in an informal performance in which the students will dance alongside the critically acclaimed dancers of ECB.  Friends and family are invited and encouraged to attend the performance.

Dancers must be at least 13 years old and have a minimum of three years ballet training.

 Intermediate, Advanced, Pre-Professional, and Professional levels welcome.
