Event Description:
Eugene’s Ballet North West Academy celebrates its new location with a week-long grand re-opening during the dates of January 6 through January 11. BNWA will host special events throughout the week, including crafts for younger students and special guest teachers and performances. Ballet North West Academy opened in Eugene in the fall of 2002. The academy’s new location is in a newly remodeled space in one of the historic Eugene Planing Mill buildings at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Lawrence Street in downtown Eugene. Free trial classes will be offered all week long. Register for a class and receive 40% off your registration fee with a paid month of tuition. BNWA will be raffling off special prizes each day of grand re-opening week, and recipients need not be present to win. There will be a grand prize drawing on Saturday, January 11. The owners of BNWA academy welcome the collaboration and participation of all members of the local dance community. “We feel this new space is a space for dance of all forms and invite community dance groups to contact us about renting the space for special events as well as their regularly scheduled dances or classes,” says BNWA Artistic Director Michele Major. "We hope to create a center for all dancers in Eugene. We specialize in strong ballet training, but we recognize that all types of dance bring joy both to dancers and audiences. We love that dance is a part of the fabric of people's lives.” BNWA specializes in ballet training following the Vaganova method, which trains the whole dancer in correct placement, strengthening, flexibility, epaulement, musicality, confidence, and clarity of movement and performance skills from the first class. The classes move the students through a clear-cut, step-by-step learning process with defined, attainable goals for each level. Children as young as 3 can begin to experience the joy of dance through beginning dance classes. These classes provide age-appropriate exercises that develop basic coordination, classroom skills, and understanding of the connection between music and movement. For dancers that wish to enter the ballet program, these classes provide a solid foundation, and also help students develop basic coordination and grace, as well as good fitness habits that start early! You don't have to be 3 years old to get started dancing though! Adult beginners and lifetime dancers with varied levels of training can also find a home at BNWA. The academy offers a complete adult ballet program including 3 levels of technique, pre-pointe, and pointe for adults, and performance opportunities for those who wish to be active in the dance community. BNWA offers classes in jazz, modern, hip-hop, and tap, and enrichment in a variety of styles. “Even pre-professional ballet dancers take enrichment classes in cultural dance, character, different styles of modern, hip hop, and more, says Major. “We want them to be well-rounded and versatile as dancers but we also want all of our students to have knowledge and respect for all dance forms and the cultures surrounding these styles. We believe that everyone can and should enjoy dance as a part of their lives." Experience the simple beauty of the Vaganova syllabus at the Saturday, January 11, demonstration of "Temps Lie” as one of the evening's performances. BNWA dancers of varied ages will demonstrate this particular pattern of movements in several of its various forms that retain the basic pattern but become more complicated, challenging, and lovely as they progress.
