FAQ About The Evolution of Classical Ballet into Modern Interpretations

How does the training differ between classical and modern ballet?

Training for classical ballet is highly structured and focuses on technique, strength, and flexibility, with a strict curriculum including barre exercises, floor work, and pointe work. Modern ballet training, while still rigorous, often includes a broader range of techniques and styles, encouraging creativity and emotional expression. Students might study contemporary dance methods and other dance forms such as jazz or hip-hop alongside traditional ballet techniques.
