ダンス・テクニック

なぜバレエを勉強する生徒がコンテンポラリーを難しいと思うのか？Why do ballet students find contemporary class hard at first?

Here is a video blog I made 5 years ago. I think it is still relevant so am sharing again.

5年前に作ったビデオブログですが、内容はいまだにバレエ界にとって大事な事をお話ししています。

Here's a brief summary of the dancers' comments in English:

Many ballet students don't like contemporary class in the beginning because it is a "different world". 

Often they must work with their weight off center and be off balance.

Ballet has a set technique and set steps. Now the students find themselves in a class where there seem to be no rules. They go from a world where 2+2=4, to a world where 2+2=endless possibilities.

In ballet you don't have to create the movements yourself. In ballet class you feel safe because everyone is doing the same dance.

When I go onstage I want to wear a beautiful costume. That is one thing about classical ballet that I love.
