Dublin Mini Retreat
Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September 2024
at
Dance Theatre of Ireland, Dun Laoghaire.
-
Our annual 2 day Mini Retreat at Dance Theatre of Ireland is always a big hit and this year we will explore the wonderfully lyrical and expressive Emeralds solo from George Balanchine’s ballet Jewels. Jewels is an exciting and colourful 3 act abstract ballet celebrating Balanchine’s view of rubies, emeralds and diamonds. The body radiates movements to depict the 3 jewels, with our solo being one of the most famous as its set to stunning music by Gabriel Faure.
To see Aurora Dickie, a soloist from Staatsballett Berlin performing the solo, please click here. To watch the Royal Ballet discuss and rehearse the ballet, please click here.
This Mini Retreat is suitable for Intermediate level adult ballet dancers or Beginner’s with a strong technical and musical understanding but sadly this event is not suitable for complete Beginner level dancers.
