A 3-DAY WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS
AUGUST 29 – 31, 2025
ARC welcomes adult dancers for three days of a Ballet Workshop taught by Marie Chong.
This three day Workshop will improve students’ comprehension of ballet technique, increase flexibility and endurance, ballet vocabulary, and introduce supplemental conditioning modalities.
The Workshop is offered to deepen participants’ understanding of the art form through training in the studio….and, of course, to have fun doing it!
At ARC, we take classical dance education seriously, and we believe adult dancers are just as interested in learning and applying their ballet knowledge as are young students.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL TO PARTICIPATE
If you have recently studied ballet for a minimum of two years, with at least two classes per week, and are physically fit, you will enjoy participating in our program. There is no audition. We trust students will responsibly enroll in the Workshop with the appropriate skill level and experience as outlined below. Of course, if you have questions, we are happy to help.
Students with either or both of the skill/experience levels described below will benefit from the Workshop and are encouraged to register:
Beginning/Intermediate
Dancers with a comprehension of basic positions and structure of a ballet class: begin at the barre and move to center work–includes stretches and exercises or combinations set to music that dance across the floor). This level includes an adult student who has studied ballet recently for a minimum of 2 years in classes that followed a moderately paced progression of the classical ballet vocabulary and fundamental movements within ballet technique.
Intermediate
Dancers who are comfortable with the progression and structure of a ballet class at an accelerated pace: barre exercises, on to center work (adagio and pirouettes), and jumps (petite allegro and grande allegro). The training combinations are more complex and progress faster compared to the Beginner/Intermediate level.
The Workshop is structured to improve dancers’ skill in both levels.
