The Vaganova Summer School Classical Variations Program is an intensive program designed for the committed dancer of an intermediate, advanced or pre-professional level.
The Classical Variations program focuses on the perfection of all basic movements of classical dance. Study of technique, pointe, variations, character and the development of artistry and virtuosity are the basis of the Vaganova Summer School. The curriculum for the 2009 Vaganova Classical Variations program includes repertoire from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Raymonda, Nutcracker, Don Quixote, Laurencia and other ballets in the original choreography of Petipa, Fokine, Ivanov, Chabukiani and Vainonen.
.
Emphasis is placed on the student's individuality and the development of their understanding of music and the performance of roles from these classical ballets. Mansur also teaches the history of Russian ballet and it's founders; the history of music, of composers such as Tchaikovski, Stravinski and Prokofiev; familiarity with theatrical designers such as Benoit, Bakst and Korovin; and great Russian dancers like Anna Pavlova, Vaslav Nijinksi and others.

All attendees of the Vaganova Classical Variations Summer Program will receive a complimentary CD of the music for the repertoire covered in class.

CHARACTER DANCE
2 WEEK STUDENT PROGRAM · August 2 - 14, 2010
1 WEEK TEACHER SEMINAR · August 16 - 21, 2010
CLICK HERE FOR FULL PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Vaganova Summer School Character Dance Program is an intensive program designed for the committed dancer of an intermediate, advanced or pre-professional level.  This program will cover the fundamentals of Classical Character Dance, including Barre & Exercise and repertoire of various etudes from national styles that feature prominently in classical ballets, including: Polish (Mazurka, others), Hungarian (Csardas), Italian (Tarantella), Russian (various), Spanish (Jota, Flamenco), Romanian/Moldavian (Various) and Gypsy/Romany (Various).

Character Dance is a unique and integral part of Russian Classical Ballet that exists only in Russia. Its basis is the national and folkloric dance traditions that are incorporated into Classical Ballet. The Character Dance genre was codified during Petipa by Alexander Viktorovich Shiryaev, Petipa's assistant. Although an essential part of many major ballets, there is no school of Character Dance anywhere outside of Russia. Character Dance is a unique form of art that is unknown outside of Russia and that is gradually disappearing.

When Mansur was a student at the Vaganova Academy, he studied directly with Shiryaev. In addition to performing classical roles and working as a classical teacher, beginning at age 22, Mansur also specialized in Character Dance. He was Principal Character Dancer with the Bolshoi and was the Chair of the Character Dance Department at the Bolshoi Theatre.
For the serious student, dancer or teacher, study of Character Dance with Mansur offers a unique opportunity. This intensive program provides 39 hours of instruction time and the chance of a lifetime to study with a Ballet Master with over 60 years of teaching experience and who provides an unbroken link from the creators of these master works.

               

               

                       

VAGANOVA TEACHER SEMINARS

Taught by
Mansur Kamaletdinov, Master Ballet Teacher

Mansur Kamaletdinov's 2009/2010 Teacher Seminars cover the study of teaching methodology for Classical Ballet and Character Dance, including Technique, Pointe and Variations from Classical and Classical Character repertoire. This is an extraordinary and unique opportunity for ballet teachers to tap into over 50 years of teaching experience as well as the opportunity to learn from one of the few surviving dance professionals who studied directly under Aggripina Vaganova herself. The program thus brings the legacy of The Vaganova Academy, which produced Pavlova, Nijinksi, Nureyev and Baryshnikov, directly to dedicated teachers in North America.
