A teacher builds the student's technique in a logical pattern, step by step, class by class. Once the student begins to understand the dynamics behind ballet technique they begin to learn how simple it really is. What is easily understood is easy to learn. That which is easily learned, generates the love of learning. When one loves to learn, all knowledge and wisdom become possible.
Every art form has basic components that characterize it.
Within each art form there are specific constraints that define the particular style or method. Each form of dance, such as modern, classical, and jazz, also has specific constraints and a palette from which to work that defines its particular form. It might seem like there are a large number of different movements and steps that define classical ballet. At the core of each of these movements is one or more basic components that are easy to understand and to teach. These basic components really form the alphabet of dance.
