Variation Expo

Orlando Ballet School Classical Variation Expo is back! Students level 2A + are eligible to participate. This program will allow participating students to perform a classical variation for a panel of ballet professionals from Orlando Ballet as well as an audience of family and friends in Ledden Great Hall. All students will receive a written evaluation of their performance from the panel.

How does it work?
Several variations will be selected by the faculty to be taught and rehearsed. The teachers will then select which variation participating students will perform.

Private Coaching:
In addition, separate coaching will also be given by an Orlando Ballet Company member. This will further prepare the students for their performance.

Costuming:
Costuming for girls is the choice of a leotard along with a matching skirt or practice tutu (classical or romantic). Costuming for boys will be tights and t-shirts in appropriate colors. Costuming should be simple, and no new purchases are necessary. Costuming is the student/parent’s responsibility and must be approved by department heads.

Fee: $150
