Extract

Training in dance is a long and arduous process, and classical ballet is one of the most exacting and demanding of all the arts. The student must master the movement vocabulary, develop a high degree of technical skill, execute movements with utmost clarity and an appropriate sense of style. In the university, it is usually the teacher who evaluates the student's progress in these areas and determines how the individual should proceed in his/her development. Evaluation takes place in the form of daily feedback and as a final grading exercise.
