Extreme Ballet Winter Workshop and Summer Program 2008 are Kaatsbaan's
pre-professional intensive programs. Extreme Ballet is
aimed at the dancer who is at least 14 years and is capable
of crossing the threshold from advanced student to professional
dancer.
Under the direction of international ballerina
Martine van Hamel, students will attend classes that focus on
improving the classical components of a dancer’s training:
line, placement, strength, musiciality and the artistic qualities
of movement with a classical or contremporary ballet role.
A
close working partnership between student and the teacher -
a personal mentoring relationship - is perhaps the most important
aspect of Extreme Ballet. All the instructors have knowledge
of dance developed from highly accomplished professional dance
careers. They are well versed in classical ballet technique
as well as the most contemporary of approaches. Each is internationally
recognized to be among the finest instructors and performance
coaches in the field. They will impart their considerable
knowledge and train the young dancer on all aspect of becoming
a valuable member of any company.
