Ballet for adults, from about 18 years to as long as you want.

by De Amsterdamse Nieuwe ballet Studio

Henk Knaap, former dancer with The National Ballet, Scapino Ballet Theater and Penta and now ballet master and guest lecturer in Europe and Japan, is starting a classical ballet training for adults in Amsterdam, a long cherished desire, because he is convinced that dance can be so much more than only a fitness or endurance training.

Classical ballet training is a training in which the balance of flexibility, strength, coordination, concentration, endurance, sense of time and space, and especially the enjoyment to move good and nice will get all the attention.

As a basis for his classes, he uses many elements from the "Danish School", where the emphasis is also on the use of arms and torso. This gives the movement a natural dynamism, more than was initially expected in classical ballet.

Dates / times:
Sunday from 11.00 to 12.30 (starting January 10, 2010)
Monday from 18:00 to 19:30 (starting January 11, 2010)
