The classes will begin with 30 minutes of floor barre, followed by 1 hour of ballet technique and will finish with an hour and a half of contemporary dance. The aim of the week is to gain body and spatial awareness, get fit and enjoy dancing! The classes will build up throughout the week and we will also work on a piece of contemporary choreography. Vasiliki Stasinaki is a professional dancer. Vasiliki studied at the Greek National Ballet School and Northern School of Contemporary Dance and is a member of Maiden Voyage Dance Company. Originating in the late 1910s, the Peabody is a brisk dance that covers a lot of space on the dance floor. Danced to almost any up-tempo Dixieland jazz, it moves like a relaxed quickstep, with long, gliding strides and a few syncopations. The iconic look comes from the leader changing sides as he travels around the floor and adds promenades and simple turns as the dance progresses.
