lindylou Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Can anyone recommend any advanced / professional level open classes for adults in London, Rome or Paris, as I will be travelling in Europe during December and January. Does anyone know if studios close down for very long over the Christmas/ New Year period? I have checked previous posts about this topic, but couldn't find any current information.

LaFilleSylphide Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 There has been a thread about Rome. You must have forgotten to search for the word "Rome". You can read it here: http://dancers.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=53019&hl=rome&fromsearch=1 Quote Link to comment
Redbookish Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 For central London, have a look at DanceWorks, or Pineapple. Pineapple's the famous studio, but it's tending more & more to commercial jazz & street dancing. I tend to think there's more choice -- of timing, studio & teacher -- at DanceWorks. But they're both pretty crowded. Be ready to sweat in the company of 20 people! Quote Link to comment
lindylou Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thank you both for your help. Yes, Clara, I must have missed that Rome thread! It's good to have some leads to follow Quote Link to comment
ami1436 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 In London - I've loved Roland's Adv/Pro class at Pineapple and Trevor St. John at Danceworks - I think his is a Pro level? Both classes can be very crowded and have 'stars' in them, and I think both are worth a try, as they have different styles. The studio at Pineapple is bigger, but just as crowded, although going across the floor is a bit easier. ETA: Oh, also - Roger.... Roger teaches a Weds AM class -- I don't even know his last name, but he's famous... He often hums/whistles his own music, the class is slow, but man is he a stickler for technique. I can ask around to see if he's still teaching, as I no longer live in the UK Quote Link to comment
LaFilleSylphide Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 In Paris, another open type IALS school is http://www.paris-danse.com/ If Marcello Raciti is teaching, you should visit his class. Great teacher, funny, and a huge advocate of Vaganova technique. Even his basic classes are great refreshers for those who want to focus on the foundations of Vaganova. Quote Link to comment
