Ballet with Carlos Lopez

Length: 72 min. Level: Advanced Space: Large

Class Description:

Carlos Lopez is an ABT Certified Teacher in the company's National Training Curriculum, and the combinations he gives are rigorously progressive, both in the way they are devised to warm up the body gradually, from the feet to the head, and in their level of technical difficulty in terms of rhythmic sophistication and speed of weight changes. Throughout the class, Lopez sets a warmly professional tone, attending to placement of the hips and the head, voicing encouragement to each of the students and helpfully identifying the steps. You’re sure to come away both physically and emotionally sustained.

Music: Robert Boston

Dancers: Scout Forsythe and Garegin Pogossian
