What’s happening?

Robert’s success both as a dancer and teacher have enabled him to develop a fun and charismatic approach to teaching, which has proven a huge hit with children and adults alike! After the huge success of his first visit, we are delighted that Robert will return to deliver ballet classes across two levels, for ages 11 years until adults, in the dance studio of Didcot Aureus School, Didcot (OX11 6GS). On top of this, we are pleased to announce that Robert will be holding an informal Q&A session, complete with light refreshments, to give students and parents the ideal opportunity to learn just what it takes to make it in the dance industry. The Q&A session is free and open to attendees of either of the scheduled ballet classes, and their parents.

Timetable*

The age brackets below are a guideline only, and more importance should be given to ability when choosing the right class.

10.00am – 11.30am: Level 1 Ballet Class (ages 11 – 14)

11.45am – 12.30pm: Q&A session

12.30pm – 2.00pm: Level 2 Ballet Class (ages 15 – adult)

Prerequisites

Robert is skilled in delivering diverse classes, and will be able to tailor his classes to meet the general standard he has on the day. The master classes will however be in open class format, consisting of free exercises which will be set on the day. To gain the very best from the experience (and make sure you have the most fun!), students should be able to learn and repeat simple exercises as they are taught, and have an understanding of the ballet vocabulary used in their usual daily ballet classes. If you are unsure whether you’d be suited to the class, please ask your ballet teacher or contact info@downland-dance.co.uk.
