What are the benefits of holiday workshops?
Holiday workshops offer young dancers crucial opportunities to further their technique training coupled with the freedom to explore their artistry and performance skills.
With extended class times compared to their usual termly sessions, dancers can enjoy the chance to delve into their classical ballet foundations, receive personalised corrections, and explore new, challenging technique material. Alongside this, students learn excerpts from well-loved ballet repertoire, giving them the chance to apply their technique in a more expressive, performance-based setting. Repertoire sessions help build musicality, confidence, and storytelling skills—essential qualities for any developing artist!
These workshops are also a wonderful way to stay motivated over the holiday breaks. Dancers can spend time with their peers, work with different teaching styles, and experience the supportive, uplifting environment Joanne Penner Dance Coaching is known for.
Whether your dancer is aiming for auditions, preparing for future intensives, or simply looking to grow their love of ballet, our holiday workshops provide enrichment, challenge, and joy in equal measure.
