OBTS CONNECTS!
Announcing the launch of Oregon Ballet Theatre School’s brand new online learning programs for dancers – OBTS CONNECTS!
Beginning, Monday March 30 registered students of OBT School will have access to new and exciting ways to experience ballet and contemporary training, plus a myriad of learning opportunities related to ballet and dance in general.
OBTS CONNECTS! OBT School offers three fundamental sections of online learning through Google Classroom. You will be receiving more details on links, etc.
- There will be curriculum content and ballet barre exercises on video for all levels, including notes from your teachers. Each student will be provided a link allowing them access to their classwork. You may add your own videos of work from the barre exercises and receive feedback from your teachers, or submit an exciting dance creation of your own to share with others.
- You can look forward to working with your teachers in your ‘at home’ studio via our Zoom ‘live’ classes. Students will have the ability to enjoy ongoing classes in the safety of their homes while sharing a new virtual dance experience with classmates. You will receive a weekly Zoom class schedule, which may include exciting contributions from company members and guest teachers. If a scheduled class time does not work into your current schedule, it may be viewed at a later day or time.
- The Enrichment section will include an amazing array of special offerings including reading lists, performance videos, projects, ‘how to’ videos, dance history, conditioning/flexibility/wellness information, TED Talks, music education, and much more.
Your OBT School teachers, pianists and staff are in creative mode, and very excited to present ballet and dance in a new way. We certainly miss seeing you all, and cannot wait to get back in the studios again. For the time being, we are hoping to CONNECT with you in the virtual world.
All the best and in good health!
