Facet #2 | Breadth - Vocabulary, Grammar & Memorization
Listen now
Description
This facet is the breadth of vocabulary in ballet and how we move our bodies from foot to foot across the floor and throughout space. Within this facet, we have 4 components: (1) Vocabulary - what the ballet steps are; (2) The grammar of how the steps fit together; (3) Picking combinations up quickly in class; (4) Memorizing an excerpt of choreography. In this episode, we dive into each of these facets, how adults learn these things versus how kids learn them, and what the skills are that you can seek out in order to keep progressing in your dancing.
