Our Program
La Bayadère premiered in 1877 and was choreographed by Marius Petipa on music by Ludwig Minkus. La Bayadère tells the story of a beautiful temple dancer, Nikiya who is caught up in the romantic and political scheme of the Princess Gamzatti; her father, the Rajah; Solor, the Warrior, and the highest priest of the temple, Brahmin. The story takes place in Royal India of the past and contains many dramatic classical as well as romantic ballet scenes. During the intensive, our dancers will learn the most recognizable variations, pas de deux and group scenes of the ballet.
The La Bayadère intensive is suitable for serious intermediate to advanced dancers who wish to participate in a summer workshop but who are unable to participate in a nationally recognized dance intensive.
