Recently attended a class advertised Beginner/General, and although I am not a beginner myself, (have RAD Advanced), I am not as strong or fit as I used to be and like to keep up with a couple of classes a week. The class was very mixed in age and ability, with one or two near professional standard dancers, right down to people who may have started ballet in the last few years as an adult. Expecting Beginner/General, I assumed a simple barre and centre, however the class was not simple at all, it was Intermediate in standard except at a painfully slow pace. Slow tendus, grand rond de jambe en l’air and multiple forward port de bras, to the point where your body doesn’t feel warm anymore, your back, thighs and calves are starting to hurt and you are wishing for something more up tempo or cardio. This did not happen, and the barre went on for an hour. As a RAD qualified teacher I was looking around the room and horrified to see adult beginners battling grand battements en demi-pointe, completely out of alignment, knees bucking barely over toes and accidents waiting to happen. The teacher, who didn’t introduce herself at the beginning, just sat on a chair for the majority of the lesson, dazing into the centre. After the barre had finished I hoped to do centre practice or corner work, but it was more slow releves, like something out of Vaganova Academy, except I didn’t feel like I was gaining strength, except perhaps causing a repetitive strain injury! So I started to wonder what the opinion is on the following: Does being a professional dancer who maybe has coached professionals/vocational students qualify you to teach the adult beginner market or not? How long should be spent on the barre or doing very slow movements with the majority of these attendees having been sitting at desk jobs all day, is there a higher risk of injury in this group with slow repetitive movements which are uncorrected and not executed well? What responsibility do vocational schools who offer these lucrative adult ballet classes have on student safety, if any? I am concerned because I think there is a growing market of adult beginners attending such classes being put at risk of injury.

Happened to come across this on ROH website, no one has notified me by phone or email, so lucky I checked!

I was just there this afternoon and all the seats seem to have a good view, I am not sure if it changes with a ballet, but it is very open, with no obstructions.
