Ballet - let's talk about it

05/08/2023

The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, on May 6, 2023, affords us a glimpse into life, tradition and ceremony at the royal courts of Europe, from which the art of ballet emerged, in the period known as the Renaissance.
With such a tangible display of custom and etiquette, accessible to us via modern day technology, we invite you to re-examine the history of ballet through the ages with a fresh pair of eyes.

Have you heard of the Butterfly Effect 🦋?

Loosely speaking, it is a term describing a situation where a small event, action or change can be traced back as the cause of larger consequences, never imagined or foreseen at the outset.

It is with this idea in mind that we would like to acknowledge and express our appreciation for all the work undertaken by Ballet Together, Global Ballet Teachers and members of the Nigerian and international ballet community, in developing our lone inquiry, into a global endeavor, bringing no-cost, ballet professional development opportunities, not only to ballet teachers in Nigeria but also to ballet teachers around the world 🌍.

May we all have the opportunity to experience the privilege of knowing that we have made a difference 💕.

Thank you Georgina for walking us through some of the basics of Highland Dancing in preparation for Global Ballet Teacher's upcoming Backstage at the Ballet chat.
We will continue to educate ourselves on the topic and contemplate further the Scottishness informing Twyla Tharp's Brief Fling!

is such an amazing connector of people and ideas!!! It is great working through concepts of form and aesthetic with her!!!
