I teach ballet at a competition dance studio, where ballet is not the focus. Very few of these students have ever performed choreography to classical music. I have chosen a relatively simple piece of music to count (Fauré’s Sicilienne), but even the students who know the choreography don’t seem to be listening to the music or dancing to the music. I want to try some things this week to help them connect more with this beautiful piece, so they have more graceful flow as opposed to robotically hitting the steps… and I’m just looking for as many ideas as I can find. TIA.
