The historic river town of Echuca will play host to Russian ballet mistress Elena Chebotar this April.
A former dancer and teacher with the Vaganova Ballet Academy, Mariinsky Theatre, Russian Ballet Theatre and St Petersburg Theatre, Elena Chebotar will conduct two intensive programs, for both students and teachers, between April 4 and 7:
Teacher intensive
The teacher intensive allows teachers ages 18 years + to develop their teaching skills in pedagogy classes whilst having the opportunity to view Ms Elena teaching Summer Intensive students of all ages and experience levels. Teacher Training will be offered in conjunction with iDance Echuca’s 2020 Intensive. This program will offer a limited number of teachers the chance to observe all of iDance Echuca’s classes being taught Vaganova Ballet Academy style, and be immersed not only in learning the Vaganova theory, but in experiencing this theory being applied to students.
Student intensive
Classes will be structured in line with Vaganova professional levelling. Ms.Elena is eligible to judge students’ examinations and provide them certification to move through levels and graduation. The student intensive is available to students 11 years and above and is aimed at advanced beginners through to professional dancers wanting to perfect their technique and perhaps explore teaching.
