Session Description

Training Determinant to the success of emerging Artists is the inspirational relationship with the Company's Artistic Director Dr. Chiara Ajkun and our Company Dancers who mentor and perform alongside Participants daily, and the opportunity to be part of the creative process of our Resident Choreographers. Specialty classes expose participants to subjects critical and instrumental to the success of a professional dancer. Dancers joining our program are challenged and inspired to achieve the very best through four high-level daily classes, in a nurturing environment considerate of age and dance level, and then to convey their skills during performances. We believe in the importance of providing strong ballet, pointe, and repertory training that broadens modern dance techniques and an injury prevention-physical strengthening plan (IPPSP) in support of a healthful and long career in the field.​ Training in the Ajkun Methodology & Specialty Classes Ballet Technique with Dancer’s Injury Prevention Integration Pointe Variations and Male Variations in Ballet Repertory Contemporary Repertory of the Ajkun Ballet Company Staging & Performing Cross Training (Body Conditioning & Pilates) Workplace Awareness Makeup Professional Networking & Social Media Performance Our performance schedule allows participants to learn many aspects of a Ballet Dancer's life, from touring to public speaking.
