Synopsis

Developing a strong ballet foundation and teaching ballet fundamentals are essential for long-term success in dance. As a studio owner, Brenda Bobby learned first-hand how to teach ballet to children and keep dancers interested in learning the basics. In doing so she found analogies the best way to engage dancers. By relating the movements to familiar foods, students of all ages can easily understand and apply concepts to their movement. Originally Ms. Bobby started using these analogies with young dancers in her ballet class instruction and soon found that even young adults and older dancers were interested in the methodology. Everyone loves food treats, and the concepts serve as wonderful reminders of simple ideas that have been so repetitive for the seasoned dancer that the reason and initiation of the movement were sometimes forgotten. The Ballet Buffet can be a good refresher course for those experienced dancers as well as a great introduction to the fundamentals for the beginner dancer. There are several ways to incorporate the concept of the Ballet Buffet into a school’s program detailed in full in the book for teaching ballet technique. Whimsical and colorful illustrations of basic classical ballet positions and barre exercises make the movements easy to understand and remember. This first book in the series covers such topics as: • Posture Exercise • Feet & Ankle Exercises • Port de brae Exercises • Plié • Tendu • Dégagé • Rond de Jambe • Frappé • Fondu • Grand Battement This is a must-have book for ballet teachers interested in keeping their students engaged and learning control of their bodies in creating beautiful fundamental elements of dance. Each activity is cleverly depicted in hand-drawn figures showing the positions of the feet, the arms and the head and relating those positions and actions to the food analogy. This book is the first in a series that will break down the basic exercises of a traditional ballet class starting at the barre, followed by center work in volume two, and across the floor exercises in the third book. The Ballet Buffet is for all levels of dancers at all ages. You are invited to use these ideas as a springboard to create new analogies and expand the buffet for all to enjoy. Have fun teaching Ballet Buffet!
