We will be working on learning a variation from La Bayadère: Nikiya's entrance - the sacred fire variation (playlist of various versions here)
This is an accessible variation that lends itself well to confined spaces.
It is full a lovely port de bras and bourrés...
Since September 2017, I've been teaching regular non-syllabus adult ballet classes.
Please scroll to the bottom of this page for my teaching calendar.
Drawing on my training in the French School of ballet, I strive to share the joy of movement and the subtleties of intention through movement.
My favourite technical foci are:
- placement and posture;
- presentation and articulation of the feet and lower legs;
- fluidity and breath in the movements of the upper body;
- and precision and clarity in the orientation of the body in space.
Tuesdays 18:15 - 19:45 at Mortimer Hall
(next to the Old Marston Library 50 Oxford Road, Old Martson, OX3 0PH).

I have further been teaching occasional non-syllabus ballet classes for established dance schools in Oxford since 2013 (mostly doing replacements, on demand):
- Ballet in Small Spaces
- East Oxford School of Ballet
- Oxford Academy of Dance
- Oxford City School of Dance
Currently training at Swindon Dance for ISTD's Diploma in Dance Pedagogy (a Level 6 degree with a focus on creativity in teaching and learning in education and community settings, and on choreography), and drawing upon my own creative practices, I am happy to further design and offer creative movement workshops for youth and community groups
