Course Description: Ballet I*

Ballet I*

33-1321

Course develops physical proficiency in the performance of basic ballet vocabulary while promoting an understanding of the principles, practices, and vocabulary common to ballet. Ballet training enables the students to gain strength, balance, and dexterity with an emphasis on correct anatomical alignment. Barre exercises condition and prepare the musculature to anticipate the execution of virtually all movements of the classical vocabulary. Knowledge acquired at the barre is tested in the center through adagio and allegro sections of the class.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.

* Prerequisite Required.
