October to December
\n\nWe often hear of ballet as "classical", "romantic", or even "contemporary", but how do they differ? The truth is various schools and styles of ballet developed over time and in diverse geographical locations. Originating in Italy, ballet gained popularity in France and flourished in Russia. Below are ballet shorts from 3 distinctive periods to introduce classic works and changes in the history of ballet.
\n\n\n\n
10/4(Wed) Your Turn to Dance the Romantic Ballet La Sylphide
\n\nBallet themes generally encompass humans and the supernatural with gentle aesthetics including elves, spirits, and fairies. The protagonists are usually women with mysterious power who enslave the souls and senses of common people. Premiering in 1832, La Sylphide marks one of the major cornerstones of ballet history.
\n\n\n\n
11/1(Wed) Your Turn to Dance the Classical Ballet The Nutcracker
\n\nThe Nutcracker, one of 3 classical ballets, was a masterpiece by TCHAIKOVSKY and Marius PETIPA. In this iconic Christmas suite, high-pitched swirling flute from the Chinese Tea Dance leave a strong impression on listeners.
\n\n\n\n
12/6(Wed) Your Turn to Dance the Neo-Classical Ballet Serenade
\n\nGeorge BALANCHINE is a symbol of neo-classical ballet aesthetics. Without fancy costumes and props, the audience's focus is solely on the dancer. Sporting a simple bodysuit, he draws attention to his movements, which he believes have to directly connect to the music instead of the romantic atmosphere of the story. His famous Serenade is a milestone in the history of dance.
