Connecticut Ballet offers 'Bournonville Workshop'






STAMFORD -- The Connecticut Ballet Center will offer a unique opportunity for area dancers to study the style of ballet made famous by Royal Danish Ballet choreographer Auguste Bournonville.

Over four, intensive-afternoon sessions (Feb. 4-5 and Feb. 11-12), dancers will learn Bournonville technique, study character acting and mime for the ballet, and learn actual Bournonville choreography from master teacher Karina Elver. Elver was a noted soloist with the Royal Danish Ballet for two decades and now travels the world staging ballets. She staged "La Ventana Pas de Trois" for Connecticut Ballet dancers last season.

The workshop is open to intermediate/advanced level students, professional instructors and dancers in the region. To register, call Lisa Monte, school manager, at Connecticut Ballet Center, 20 Acosta Street, Stamford. The Connecticut Ballet Center is the official school of Connecticut Ballet. For information, call (203) 978-0771 or visit www.connecticutballet.com.
