Ballet as a “universal language” – what is most relevant to the present time and scenarios.
The workshop is based on the ballet technique through the personal approach of Yannis Adoniou, as it has evolved during his artistic and educational course, in order to understand, explore and develop further the moving skills of the participants based on the science behind the technique of classical dance.
We will have the opportunity to explore classical dance in a creative environment and focus freely on the architecture, engineering and functionalities of ballet beyond its hierarchical and stylistic aspects.
