Keytra Asandi Contemporary Ballet with Classical Integration is a class where technical styles are integrated and authenticity is revered.  Vaganova Method, Chechetti Science and Balanchine Ballet provide the foundation for further movement theory to be explored and developed.

The phrase I like to use to define my technical class composition is:

Structure compelled to support while releasing impeding confinements.  'We find freedom through a discipline and ourselves through releasing our attachments and letting go.'  

Barre/Centre Barre, Centre work, Adagio, Petite Allegro and Grand Allegro 

​

Vaganova's syllabus builds on a carefully developed progression in which the "basic" or "preparatory" forms are mastered before the dancer moves on to more difficult forms. This can be understood as a codified technical approach when taught by qualified teachers following the syllabus closely. The syllabus is founded upon the idea that when a dancer is introduced to a step, he or she will have developed the correct strength in foundation in order for their steps and movements to be successful. It is understood that this strength-building requires time and consistent hard work. Wikipedia.org

“The Cecchetti system is professional, logical and its technical demands are totally revealing. (its) ports de bras are known far and wide for their simplicity, purity of line and their sheer beauty.” — excerpt from Miss O: My Life in Dance by kind permission of Betty Oliphant, C.C., LL.

Balanchine Ballet "neoclassical style".

During Balanchine's career as a choreographer, Balanchine was known for his expressive nature coupled with his musicality and passion for working with brilliant leading composers.
