02/27/11: Group Training with Dandelion DanceTheater

Today I attended an open training session with Dandelion DanceTheater at CELLSpace in San Francisco. The training consisted of:

• 50 minutes – Ballet
• Short Break
• 50 minutes – Balkan Singing

There were 8 – 10 people there over the two hours, half of whom were company members and the other half were either friends of the company or folks like me, who had learned of the open training session online. Both trainings were geared towards those without experience in the specific performance modes, but the leaders encouraged and expected a high level of focus and achievement. After so much time working in the studio alone, it was a pleasure to train with other people.
