BOURNONVILLE IN BIARRITZ

Yet another “Bournonville in Biarritz” was accomplished with great success and large attendance.

This year’s “Bournonville in Biarritz” was based upon Bournonville’s “Tuesday class” and repertoire classes including important soli, pas-de-deux, pas-de-trois and complete ensembles from La Sylphide and La Ventana.

Participants, students, pre-professionals, professionals and observers from 10 nations have had an active and eventful week.  Thanks to good planning, atmosphere, premises, professional Bournonville teachers, musicians and dancers of the highest level of expertise. We are proud to say this was a success.

Dinna Bjørn are especially pleased to announce that next year’s  Bournonville  – the 3^rd edition – will be built around Bournonville’s “Wednesday class”. The repertoire classes will be based upon  “A Folk Tale” and  “Flower Festival in Genzano”. In addition there will lectures, introductions, DVD presentations etc. etc, dealing with Bournonville’s  work and ballets.

In 2011 we have again chosen the last week of July,  Monday 25^th – Saturday 31th, as a meeting place for “Bournonville in Biarritz”. We will continue to work closely with the Ballet Malandain, and use the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel as our base in the centre of Biarritz.

Bournonville in Biarritz would like to invite all interested participants  to book in advance,  both dancers and observers.
