YOUNG BALLET CALABASH
Emphasis is placed on stage practice. The focus is on stage practice. The work proposed aims to train dancers to enter professional dance companies.
The dancers are encouraged to develop and affirm their artistic identity by immersing themselves in the choreographic creation process of the teachers or through the appropriation of the repertoire of the teacher choreographers and guest choreographers.
All of these creations, created throughout the year in collaboration with the dancers, constitute the repertoire of the Jeune Ballet Calabash. This Junior Company performs in several cities in France and abroad, on different stages, and in front of different audiences... The dancers thus learn to quickly manage different spaces, performance contexts and the life of a troupe.
This experience also offers the opportunity to get in touch with the professional world, to meet the actors of the performing arts and to exchange with the public.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Dancers and artists with an amateur and/or pre-professional background, who wish to broaden their stage and artistic skills and train for the performing arts (versatile dancers, repertoire work, choreographic creations, etc.).
PREREQUISITES
The student must be at least 16 years old and be free of compulsory schooling.
He/she must have regular practice in jazz, classical or contemporary dance and must have a sufficient level of dance technique to take intermediate level classes.

EVALUATIONS
At the beginning of the training, an evaluation of the knowledge and the technical level of the learners allows to appreciate the initial positioning and to validate the technical level. This allows us to detect any technical or choreographic culture gaps and to suggest work areas to the students from the start of the training.
At the end of each period (December, March and May):
Continuous evaluation of the students by the teachers, feedback on the attendance during the period;
Oral feedback on continuous and end-of-period evaluations with the learner
Oral feedback on continuous and end-of-period evaluations with the learner; Examination exercises with feedback on personal and/or group variations, evaluation and feedback from the teaching team present. Self-evaluation of the students based on video recordings of their performance.
Suggestion of areas for improvement.
The training is certified by a certificate at the end of the training
PERSPECTIVES

- to integrate, as a dancer/interpreter :
- various companies with agreements or independent companies,
- production companies,
- musicals or cabarets,
- create your own company as a choreographer or artistic director.
