The JYPG class is different from the twice weekly RAD grade classes where the students learn fixed exercises and character dances in preparation for the yearly exam. In the JYPG sessions, the girls get exposed to more types of exercises and steps that would increase their knowledge of ballet moves and stage presence.
Most of the 90 mins lesson is spent at the barre doing exercises, some totally new to them.
Here's a short clip of one of the exercises.
I am really impressed with all the young girls. They had worked very hard during the year to bring themselves to a higher standard. Looking forward to the girl's involvement with the JYPG next year and seeing her take her passion to greater heights! I just have to remind her to relax and smile a little more when she is dancing. :)
