Dancers will learn partnering choreography from the beautiful and tragic Romeo and Juliet ballet, as well as more Nutcracker choreography for auditions. Each day begins with class where dancers will hone their technique with the elegant art of French and Russian classical ballet that emphasizes beautiful hands, arms and head movements, big jumps and multiple turns.
