This special workshop will focus on the Technique and Artistry of Classical Ballet in the Vaganova tradition, designed to help young dancers strengthen their technical foundation, musical awareness and artistic expression.
For students who are serious about classical ballet training, this masterclass offers a valuable opportunity to work closely with Jiayin Du, former artist of The Australian Ballet and former teacher of both the Australian Ballet School and the Academy of Queensland Ballet.
We warmly welcome dedicated young dancers who are eager to refine their technique and deepen their understanding of classical ballet, as a rare opportunity to experience Jiayin Du’s coaching in Auckland through a workshop created for designed for serious ballet students seeking focused training in classical technique, artistry, musicality, pirouettes, allegro, and performance quality, especially students preparing for competitions, exams, auditions, and advanced classical training.
