About Dinna Bjørn and The Bournonville Technique
Ms. Dinna Bjørn was director of the Norwegian National Ballet for 12 years and advisor to the artistic director of the Royal Danish Ballet. She was the artistic director of the Finnish National Ballet from 2001 – 2008. Ms. Bjørn has taught and coached the works and technique of Bournonville since 1975. She has participated in Bournonville research and reconstructions and has transmitted the legacy of Bournonville’s repertoire and technique throughout the world.
–
August Bournonville(1805-1879), a student of Auguste Vestris, created over 100 ballets and trained several generations of Royal Danish dancers. His work still resembles its original form and his ballets have undergone fewer changes in style than those of Marius Petipa. His work includes lightness, ballon, fleet small allegro and clean batterie often not seen in todays ballet training. Jumps, beats and precise footwork, Bournonville trademarks, are important technical values and remain important tools for ballet teachers to develop in their students a clear, clean technique and execution.
