Natascha Mair
Company – English National Ballet
Position – Principal Dancer
Schooling – Vienna State Opera Ballet School
In this class, Natascha teaches Medora’s dream solo which appears in the third act of Le Corsaire.
After a beautiful studio performance of this Solo, Natascha returns to the beginning and talks through every step, start to finish, explaining how she dances this beautiful solo while also giving her own tips and advice for success in executing the technique to make this solo look as elegant and clean as she does when she dances it!
At the end of the class after Natascha has gone through the technical requirements of the solo, she performs it again while facing the other way. In other words. she will turn around and give you the view from the back so that you can learn the solo as if standing behind her. This is designed to make it easier for you to understand what she is doing and to give you a rarely seen point of view.
Learn with the best or simply watch and enjoy!
