Intensive Summer Course in Choreography Disciplines 2023

From August 14th through 24th the Bolshoi Ballet Academy hosted the Intensive Summer Course in Choreography Disciplines. This year, the geography of the project has expanded: more than 100 students and teachers of professional dance training institutions and children’s arts schools across Russia – from St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Samara, Kyzyl, Kaliningrad, Krasnogorsk, Orel, Saratov, Ufa, Perm, Bishkek, Moscow – visited the Academy. The international students from Taiwan, USA, Italy, and Switzerland also took part in this course.

Two weeks of the course turned out to be very intense. In addition to daily master classes in classical and historical dances, the curriculum of the students included classes in acting, stage practice and a new added exciting subject – "Quality of movement in modern dance".

For the weekend, an excursion program was prepared for the guests of the Academy, which included acquaintance of participants with the sights of Moscow: trips to VDNKH and Kolomenskoye.

On August 24, the Academy hosted a gala at its theater, which included 47 choreographic pieces.

Congratulations to all participants on the completion of the intensive course and hope to meet you again!
