A place to perform regularly.
Description
Amsterdam Amateur Ballet (AAB) Studio Company is a place for adult ballet students to perform regularly (minimum twice a year).
The group will learn pieces (length depending on number of participants) geared more towards a younger audience. Depending on the term of the year, we will learn répertoire from ballet (maybe even a full-length ballet) or have a piece created on us (new work).
However, we limit the group to students with an advanced beginner and higher level. (Which is around of 2 years of regular practice)
We also welcome retired professional dancers who are interested in performing in a friendly environment.
The schedule is set on 2 to 3h of weekly rehearsals (most weeks 2h, 3h on runthrough and general rehearsal days), this of course includes a 30min warm up.
Weekly rehearsals are mostly on Saturday afternoon with an exceptional Sunday here and there. Our 2h rehearsals are held from 16h to 18h and the occasional 3h rehearsals are held from 16 to 19h.
Location: our own Studio, Koningin Wihelminaplein 1 (tower 4, floor 8, room 7), 106HG Amsterdam
