Welcome to BarreRaiser® 2008
Classical Dance Alliance welcomes you to our BarreRaiser® 2008 Intensive. We hope you will choose to work with us. Our work is not focused on the “business” or “appearance” of dance. It is focused on the “content of the work” and on helping people with pedagogical tools to further their understanding of classical dance and its’ adjunct subjects. CDA has a “laser-like focus” and precisely presents material taught by outstanding Teaching Artists.
Our BarreRaiser 2008 event is primarily for Artistic Directors, Ballet Masters, School Directors, Instructors or Emerging Instructors of dance/classical dance/ballet and their students. Anyone may attend from any background. Our goal is for people to go away with a good grasp of the material and an understanding of the music appropriate for use with it.
