Contemporary Ballet Masterclass

To accompany their From Ash to Promise: An Evening of Contemporary Ballet performance, BalletMAR’s co-directors Marika Brussel and Richard Bermange are leading a masterclass here at The Dance Space.

A traditional ballet class with a twist, Marika and Richard use diverse musical styles and playful exporation of movement languages to take classical ballet to a new level. Aimed at dancers with at least two years dance experience, you will be reminded why you love dancing whilst being pushed to explore new heights.
