Ballet Lab with Emily Stein and Paige Cunningham Caldarella - Online

Join Dance Center faculty members Paige Cunningham Caldarella and Emily Stein for a playful, challenging ballet technique class that continues their research in developing contemporary ballet practice. Continually questioning the ballet vocabulary and training experience, Emily and Paige have created a collaborative “relay” class format. The class will incorporate both teachers' voices, integrating deep knowledge of ballet technique with devising in the moment. Their approach stretches and challenges the ritual of ballet class, exploring how dancers can push off from the touchstones of traditional ballet technique to make it relevant, sustaining, equitable, and flexible.
