Abstract

Professional ballet is often problematized, as is the training that leads up to it. Even when ballet's training model is not being held up as an example of outright abuse, its “old school” methods are generally considered authoritarian, outdated, and oppressive. However, pre-professional training is not always so dire, and more importantly, it does not have to be. The dance profession and training are changing: to reflect and strengthen emerging “new school” methods, teachers reworking the traditional model should be more active in sharing and asserting their ideas, and there should be greater interaction between academia and the studio.
