Looking for beginning adult ballet classes
Tatiana Shpeisman
Could anybody recommend me an adult beginning ballet class in
the South Bay area (hopefully near Palo Alto)?
I took a semester of a ballet this spring to improve my ballroom dancing -
belive it or not, it helped. But, as a result, I became addicted to
the ballet classes also. And as I am here (Palo Alto) for the summer,
I need to find some place to do it. Please help.
Thanks.

Not at all surprised that it improved your ballroom dancing; this
frequently happens. Getting addicted to ballet frequently happens, too.
The simplest thing is probably to look in the Yellow Pages under
dance instruction. If you draw a blank, I don't know what to tell
you. If they list more than one, go & try every one & compare.
Some possible criteria are listed in Part 2 of the ballet-modern
FAQ, but on the basis of a semester course you probably know what
to look for already.

I enjoyed taking adult ballet at Western Ballet in Mountain View. I
don't have the phone number or address on me now, but they're on Old
Middlefield near Rengstorff Avenue.
Good Luck!

Although training in ballet (or any other system of western dance)
would be beneficial to the ballroom dancer , I would recommend jazz
classes instead . Ballet is done high on the balls of the feet or on
the toes while jazz employs a more grounded technique which should
translate better to ballroom than ballet.(I took 3 semesters of jazz
dance at Mission College back in the mid-eighties and it was very
beneficial to my ballroom dance technique).
While I'm sure that a highly trained ballet dancer would have no
difficulty learning ballroom technique I would worry that the amateur
might carry away some habits not benefical to ballroom, especially the
smooth dances. For example, ballroom requires a strong heel lead(from
both leader and follower) with its accompanying strong lowering
action. This is a way of moving foreign to ballet. Jazz employs a lot
of lowering actions(albeit often without the heel lead). Additionally
jazz is usually done to typically American dance rythms which would
directly aid in training the body for the type of movement required in
ballroom, latin and American rythm dances.
I have only seen perhaps two or three examples of someone I knew to be
ballet trained doing ballroom all wrong (toe leads, bouncy,etc.)but if
you are considering ballet training to enhance your ballroom dancing
you should be aware of the differences and avoid carrying
inappropriate
techniques from one style of dance to the other.
BTW, you might have seen ballets in which male and female partners do
a rendition of the viennese waltz or some generic ballroom style dance
and invariably they will NOT be employing heel leads. The only
exception I have ever seen was in a short ballet danced by Susan
Farell and Peter Martins in which they were dressed in ballroom style
costumes complete with ballroom shoes and I noticed that Mr. Martins
was using heel leads and a typically ballroom frame, but I remembered
reading or hearing somewhere that he had started out dancing ballroom
as a child.

with this second request, I'm posting to the newsgroup. If you don't
live in the South Bay area, this will probably not be of interest to
you.
I am co-director of a ballet studio in Mountain View, which is very
near Palo Alto. The name of the school is Pacific Ballet Academy and we
have several adult classes during the summer session which starts June
24th through July 27th.
Monday 7:30pm Beg/Int Ballet Mark Foehringer
Tuesday 10:00am Intermediate Ballet Noemi Nargizian
7:30pm Intermediate Ballet Noemi Nargizian
Wednes 7:30pm Beginner Ballet Mark Foehringer
Thurs 10:00am Intermediate Ballet Mark Foehringetr
7:30pm Beg/Inter Ballet Mark Foehringer
Friday 10:30am Beg/Inter Ballet Amanda Garrett
Satur 11:30am Advanced Ballet Lawrence Pech
I've listed all the adult classes above with their teachers. The school
number is (415) 969-4614. We also have intensive summer courses if you
need more challenging classes.

There was a thread about this a few months back. The general consensus
was that ballet dancers seemed to pick up ballroom dancing very
quickly. The star of the movie, "Strictly Ballroom", Paul something,
was a dancer with the Australian Ballet. Of course, most ballet dancers
have had some jazz at one time or another, and certainly professional
ballet dancers are required to be versatile in different dance forms
and styles. Certainly they have to realize what they can carry from one
style to another - it's kind of hard to confuse a jazz pirouette with a
traditional ballet pirouette! Any ballet dancer wanting to pursue a
career in dance should take classes in many different kinds of dance,
just so they've had them and are familiar with them.

Poem for Program Note:
An essence unknown - ineffably sensed,
Which cannot pretend - ne'er has an offense,
'Tis all that we are - after all that is said,
Momentous it moves - within us instead.
Pure as it is - pristine as the wind,
True as it is - just watch it give in,
Honest it is -absent of pretense,
Shadows of Spirit - a wondrous suspense.

Seeks no revenge on anguish,

Our minds now in confusion,
Once the soul has sung freely,
Take us back regressively,
Yet no quite so far.

Though our hearts now fly,
And our very essence emerges,
A melancholy joy held too close,
Bares tears of such longing.
VI. Paradoxis
Pulled and pushed into life's barrage,
We randomly seek what is already found.
VII. Agreement
Pristine and certain is that which we find,
How we really know,
Life is exactly what it appears to be,
Or isn't -
(We fade into the universe wiser).

Never looking back with regret...
