In recent years, classical dance has become popular. From the Repetto Floral Water campaign to the OPI nail polish campaign, the ballerina is in the spotlight. Light, graceful and elegant, she embodies a symbol of femininity with an elongated silhouette in the style of Nathalie Portman in "Black Swan". An artistic sport that is becoming more and more adept.
CLASSICAL DANCE: A FORM OF BODILY EXPRESSION
The origins of ballet date back to the fifteenth century and the Italian Renaissance. But it was at the French court, during the reign of Louis XIV, that classical dance developed. Passionate about this art, the Sun King will even found the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661 and dance in many ballets. The first steps of classical dance such as hunted or sissonnes are thus born at this time.
Are you tempted by an apprenticeship in classical dance? Do not hesitate to go to a club to attend a session, take a trial class and possibly tempt you! There is no age to begin or resume this discipline: more and more clubs welcome adults of all levels.
The course of a course may differ from one school to another. However, any session starts with a warm-up on the ground or at the helm. Then follow the realization of classical dance movements in the center of the room. As you go through the sessions, you will learn the five positions of the arms, the six positions of the feet, the wearing of arms, the steps being driven, the folded, the half-folded, etc. After a few years of practice, you can acquire the technique of half-points and spikes.
Before investing in a tutu or leotard, do not hesitate to ask your school if teachers require a specific outfit.
