Hervé Palito: Ballet Intensive

ŻfinMalta ballet intensive Hervé Palito 1800x1800

11-14 years old:

Thursday 4th May & Thursday 11th May
19:00-20:30

 

Location:
ŻfinMalta Studios, Valletta

 

 

Price:
40€ (full 3 hour intensive)
25€ (1.5 hour drop-in class)

   

 

ŻfinMalta Dance Intensives are curated as themed experiences, focusing on a particular movement technique, and exposing participants to commissioned guest teachers who contribute to company dancers’ training. Intensives are best experienced in their entirety through package offers, however drop-in sessions are also up for grabs for a taster of the whole experience. 

 

ŻfinMalta are excited to announce the second exciting ballet training intensive with Hervé this season!    

 

 

Hervé’s unique approach as a ballet master, is to develop exercises which connect the physical preparation and study of the ballet technique with its more organic side.  Musicality, upper body awareness and coordination, placement of body weight in space, relationship to the ground, and quality of movement, are the elements that make Hervé’s classes accessible to both classical and contemporary dancers.    

 

Hervé is also leading ŻfinMalta open company classes in which participants of 18 years and over may join the company dancers in their morning class.  On the other hand, this intensive experience offers an exclusive, intimate and more focused evening programme for all 11 – 14 year olds to experience Hervé’s training.
