Two Master Classes This Weekend
 |
| Alex Wong, from MMAC website |
The former Miami City Ballet soloist and SYTYCD favorite has much to offer, I'm sure. It's sort of a shame these kinds of things only last one or two classes...so much to learn in so little time!
Also, Take Ueyama of Take Dance is in the middle of his Winter Master Class Series at Baryshnikov Arts Center. I did his January intensive two years ago and LOVED it. His movement is so freeing and fun, even though it's so different from my ballet base. He teaches 10am-12pm today and tomorrow.

Cool Classes Coming Up in October
 |
| Matthew Bourn'e "Swan Lake" |
While daydreaming about all the classes I'm going to take when my foot gets better I've come across a few really cool special classes coming up in the rest of October...if you're in the city, you should go...
I love how great companies that are touring to New York are starting to hold master classes lately. It gives dancers as dancers more experience being seen by different choreographers, and it gives dancers as audience members more insight into the company's artistic process and vision. Love it.
*Sat. October 9
Free Class Day at DNA! Check the schedule here. I'm going to try to make it to one of the yoga/pilates classes just because it's free!
*Sun. October 17
| Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet |
*Wed.-Fri. October 20-22
Matthew Bourne Repertory Workshop at Peridance! So cool! It coincides with the company's performances of his famous all-male "Swan Lake" at City Center. The class is open to both men and women.
*Fri. October 22*Mon. October 25
Master class with the amazing Wendy Whelan of NYCB! Sounds like a great opportunity offered by MMAC studios from 7:30-9pm. Oh how I'd love to go...MMAC is also offering a "Bring a Friend" discount to get your class free through December, though I'm not sure that applies to master classes.*Fri. October 29
Another Cedar Lake class at DANY.

If you haven't visited Stage Door Connections yet...
you MUST check it out if you're a dancer in New York City!
They have so many one-of-a-kind learning opportunities that are great to take advantage of if you're an auditioning dancer. One that I really badly want to do while I'm injured is their 6 week course "The Dancer's Voice," which gives dancers with little vocal training (ahem, myself...) the guidance they need to prepare for the singing part of dance auditions. I desperately need this kind of preparation if I want to get back to big auditions in January...I've always avoided auditions that say "you may be asked to stay in sing" because I am so shy and unprepared. But I have no more time to waste...
It's sort of expensive, so I may not get to do it this round...
But they DO have tons of affordable master classes that are EXCELLENT! I took a class with awesome Broadway choreographer Andy Blankenbeuhler a few months ago (wow, he's intense! And amazing.) and this summer I took a Tharp class with a cast member from "Come Fly Away," which was sooo fun!
Check out their upcoming seminars here. There's one for "A Chorus Line" (one of my favorite Broadway shows ever!) and a new Fosse class! OH how badly I want to go...they better do these ones again when I am healthy!

Gaga Classes with Batsheva!
Ohhh to be healthy!
This is super exciting, so if you're not injured like I am, you should GO.
DANY Studios, which is connected to The Joyce, is holding a new master class series this fall/winter with different groups who are performing at The Joyce. First up: Batsheva Dance Company.
Ohad Naharin himself will be teaching on October 1! Other classes are with company members.
I took a Gaga class a few summers ago and it's a very interesting technique that is not offered here all the time (although it looks like Peridance has started offering it regularly...). It's very freeing and feels good on the body. I'd love to take class with the master himself...
