Although I have attended dance classes in various styles, I have never attended a ballet lesson, nor understand how they are structured or work. Therefore, I had a concern concerning the accuracy in my film.
In my film Kate (cleaner) begins to be guided in dance by the company's dance teacher Rob, which I imagine would take the form of a private ballet lesson. In order, to present accurate scenes, I will be reviewing real private lessons, which I have found posted on YouTube.
Key elements I
have identified:
- The music starts playing and the student dances the sequence. Meanwhile, the teacher observes the movements, moving around the dancer to get a glimpse of all angles.
- The teacher pauses the music and assists the dancer with problematic sections.
- Physical contact between teacher and dancer
- Verbal instructions given to student
- Student practices on their own
- Assisted again
Although, such details may seem trivial, they were particularly helpful in constructing the art directions and dialogue for the scenes where Kate is instructed by Rob.
