Ballet with Antoinette Peloso
LENGTH: 55 min. LEVEL: Advanced-Intermediate SPACE: Large
This class is an amalgam of many influences, notably the Italian and Russian schools and with a special emphasis on the kinetic approach advocated by David Howard. With that in mind, the exercises at the Barre focus on proper alignment which allows for the free flow of energy throughout the body. Moving to the centre, the combinations become more complex, emphasizing port de bras, epaulement, and directional changes. Since time permits, Antoinette finish the class with reverence.
