Overview

Tapping into the RUBBERBAND Method to which she actively contributed, Plamondon offers exercises that strengthen dexterity and precision of movement on all axes, decision-making and the use of rhythmic variations. By learning the principles of the method, dancers will be ready to engage the floor with authority and finesse. An emphasis will also be placed on the dancers’ concentration and visual connections in partnering segments and in performance. Throughout the class, the artist will rely on key principles of her personal approach to movement, such as self-presence in performance and awareness of breathing. 

Please note that registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis up to a maximum of 24 participants. All participants will be required to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 to enter the studio, sign-in to the National Ballet of Canada screening portal, and will be required to wear a mask at all times while indoors.
