8th July 2022 – Winter School!
This week students from EBA participated in our 5th Annual Winter School held at our Joondalup studio! Open to dancers aged 7-15, each day started with an Open Classical Ballet class. Classical Ballet is the perfect way to warm up our bodies, and with focussed minds first thing in the morning is the ideal time to work hard on developing technique and working on a more ‘serious’ style before taking our ‘fun’ workshops in the afternoon. Classical Ballet is the basis of all dance styles, so it is an imperative skill to learn then master.
Afternoon
Tuesday afternoon we welcomed Miss Jess into the studio for our Contemporary Workshop. Miss Jess has such unique and modern style to her choreography, and our dancers enjoyed learning a challenging and very detailed routine.
We finished the day with Miss Dylan hosting Musical Theatre. Now I can’t tell you the last time I heard this much laughter come from the studio… the girls were having the BEST time! This is exactly what I love about Winter School, the students not only being exposed to different styles of dance and performance, but having amazing new teachers sharing their knowledge and passion within our studio walls.
Tuesday concluded with a goal setting workshop… my personal favourite! We all wrote letters to our future selves along the lines of…
Dear Diary,
Today is 6th July 2023,
I can now do the splits on both my left leg and right leg, and can do my aerial on the floor without using the air track. I am getting straight A’s at school and can do my own hair before school each day… so no more fighting with Mum.
Hehe 🙂
