SAB’s Ballet Connoisseurship is an educational offering for adults providing seasoned ballet goers, patrons, students, scholars, and newcomers alike with knowledge and perspectives that will enhance their appreciation of ballet. Ballet Connoisseurship was launched in January 2019 as part of the new “SAB Open” division. The first three units ran January through April 2019, exploring history, technique, and choreographic masters. The next six units will run September 2019 through May 2020, both covering new territory and taking deeper looks into last winter’s course matter. Each unit consists of three 90-minute courses and will feature one course which illuminates SAB’s unique methods and the Balanchine aesthetic through live in-studio student demonstrations.
