Intersections Dance and Sport

Professional dancers perform excerpts from a typical ballet class demonstrating the training and technique behind the art of ballet. This program examines the parallels between Olympic sports such as figure skating, freestyle skiing, half pipe snowboarding and the art of ballet. Ballet Victoria studies the aesthetic of movement, explaining the art of line, flow and dynamic in choreographic sequences. A short dance performance concludes the lecture demonstration.
