Master class with Nederland Dans Theater

First of all, Nederlands Dans Theater I (NDT I) was the world legendary modern dance company and this company premieres three modern masterpieces to launch the New Vision Arts Festival this autumn.prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

I attended the master class with them tonight.  It was interesting to know that they are contemporary ballet base, not only use ballet as warm up section.  They also used quite a lot ballet technique through out their work!  The piece which we had learned wasn't "really modern" I felt like contemporary ballet rather than US modern dance.  Instead of releasing technique and floor work, they used lots of ballet foot work! prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" / 

First of all, we did full ballet barre, (warm up, pile, tendus, jetes, rond de jambes, fondus, frappes, grand battements, stretching).  After that, we separated into two groups to learn girl solo and boy solo individually.  They also showed us how to make a piece with the same solo, dual, four in group, different variations, qualities, repetitions and using voice, etc. 

Looking forward to watch their performance in the coming weekend!!!
