CAPOEIRA

Capoeira is a Brazilian Martial Art that combines elements of dance, music and acrobatics and is sometimes referred to as a game. It was developed in Brazil mainly by West African descendants with native Brazilian influences.
It is known for quick and complex moves, using mainly power and speed. There is a wide variety of spins, kicks involved in this dance.

CLASSICAL BALLET

Classical ballet originated in the 17th-century French court ballet, which came to fruition at the Russian Imperial School of Ballet, directed in the 19th-century by Marius Petipa.

Classical ballet, also called romantic ballet is a system of dance based on formalized movements and positions of the arms, feet and body designed to enable the dancer to move with the greatest possible agility, control, speed, lightness and grace. It is based on the turn-out position of the legs, which increases the range of movement through added mobility in the hip joint and also imparts a more pleasing line to the extended leg.

We at Mimi-Metamorphosis offer Classical Ballet to students who already have a background in this type of dance.

Do you think that the Ballet fraternity would ever fully accept/ acknowledge non-white Classical Ballet Dancers?

THE ANATOMY OF DANCE

Human anatomy is the branch of science concerned with the structure and function of the body.

The human body is the dancer's instrument of expression.

Understanding how the body works can help a dancer stay in shape, improve performance, increase confidence and add longevity to his or her performing career. It can also help a dancer avoid injury. If an injury does occur, knowledge of human anatomy can contribute to a safe process of healing and recovery.

At Mimi-Metamorphosis Dance Theatre, principles of exercise physiology, fitness and nutrition to help you on your journey toward maximum health and longevity is focused upon to ensure all-round dancers.
