Congratulations to the beautiful ladies who bourrée’d their hearts out in a stunning performance, bringing a fantastic close to our Raymonda Variation Workshop this month.
Led by our co-founder Alison, the dancers stepped into the world of classical elegance with Raymonda’s Act III, Variation 6. Together they explored the seamless blend of technical precision and rich artistry that defines this timeless role. With just four weeks of hard work, they refined every detail with focus and determination, and it showed in their confident, polished performances.
Raymonda begins her tale as a young noblewoman, torn between duty and love, navigating dreams, doubt, and danger. By Act III, she has chosen her path and stands fully in her power and nobility. Her journey and transformation is reflected in this solo, featuring refined footwork, expressive épaulement, and Raymonda’s signature bourrées. Set to Glazunov’s lush and regal score, this challenging solo requires dancers to put their command of control, grace, and presence on full display.
Each BalletBody dancer rose to the occasion and brought to their performances such radiance and regality, it was truly a celebration of strength in femininity and self-confidence.
Bravo ladies!
