Summer
can be the most crucial time for a budding ballerina’s career. While most
children are on vacations or staycations, the pupils of Ballet Philippines
Dance School are hard at work. Three to five times a week, they fill their days
with classes in classical ballet, modern dance, jazz, hip hop, and even
lectures – all geared towards guiding them towards becoming full-fledged dance
artists.
Classical
ballet is a time-honored dance form that teaches grace, precision, and
expression - a tradition that the BPDS has passed on through its programs that
incorporates the Philippine National Ballet Syllabus to generations of dance
students. Classical ballet encourages freedom of expression, builds confidence
and self-discipline, and develops a sense of individuality, which would grow
into an appreciation for the arts.
Modern
dance explores dance movements beyond the set boundaries of classical ballet,
incorporating influences from day-to-day movements, folk dances, martial arts
and other sports, as well as contemporary/popular dance. Modern serves as a
laboratory for emerging dancers and choreographers, allowing the discovery of
new artists in dance.
Staying
on top of the latest in popular dance, the Ballet Philippines Dance School also
offers courses in Hip Hop and Jazz dance. Students discover different rhythms
and grooves of movement, shaping them into becoming well-rounded dancers.
The
Summer Dance Workshop also offers a weekly Lecture Series, in keeping with the
BP Dance School’s holistic approach to dance education. Through these sit-down
talks, students have the opportunity to interact with artists of different
fields and learn how aspects of their art form can relate to and enhance one’s
dancing.
The
48th CCP Summer Dance Workshop starts on April 17, 2016 at BPDS-SM Aura Premier
and on April 18, 2016 at BPDS-CCP. Students attend a minimum of 3 classes a
week (for pre-ballet and elementary ballet students) to as much as 5 classes a
week, including workshop rehearsals for its culminating performances at the
Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater) on May 20 and 21.
Summer
classes will also be held in the newly opened BP Dance School branches in Greenhills
Theatre Mall and Victoria Sports, Quezon City. Classes start on April 4 and end
on May 31.
The
Ballet Philippines Dance School is the professional training ground of the
country’s most promising young talents in dance. With a unique curriculum that
encompasses various dance styles and techniques, the systematized method and
approach to instruction takes highly into account children’s anatomy and psyche
at various ages and levels so that the training is physically safe, technically
effective and artistically enriching for all students.
