REPERTOIRE (8 week course, Thursdays, 6.15pm)

Experience what it's like to be a member of the corps de ballet of a Company - rehearsing excerpts from well-known productions and then performing (in-studio to family and friends). This new 8-week course will focus on stagecraft, musicality, group spatial awareness, patterns and performance artistry.
We are thrilled to have QB staff member, and former dancer with Royal New Zealand Ballet and The Australian Ballet, Kismet Bourne, as the teaching artist for this course. Repertoire course is suitable for those who have completed both the Ballet Basics courses, and will include some floor work and faster movements, etc. so please ensure you’re physically capable prior to reserving your spot.
