Thank you Karin for sharing your experience and passion with our students! Posted @withregram • @karinaverty June 18,2022 last day in Cary, North Carolina guest teaching for a week@International Ballet Academy ! Many thanks to Academy Director Christina ,Artistic Director Nadia and to Ballet Masters Max and Emma and all the students for welcoming me for my first time with them !!!🙏🙏
A pleasure to finally meet with Olivier Pardina (the French guest teacher’s connection !!!)
It was a very happy week of wonderful work with the students ! 🙏🙏
A delight to transmit a little bit of French technique and choreography to the IBA young ladies with Leo Staats French choreographer with his ballet “Soir de Fête”choreographed in 1925 , Delibes music. It could have been choreographed today , it is one of the jewels of the French technique , a very difficult ballet and variation !
Staats studied with Merante and became Paris Opera Ballet Master and has served as well as the first choreographer for shows at Roxy movie palace in NYC !
I danced “Soir de Fête” the entire Ballet at POB on Garnier stage and loved it but the very first time I danced this variation was when I joined the company from the School after the intern exam , I was 16 years old !

We worked as well as with the youngest ladies with another Leo Staats ballet Walpurgis Night (Faust) 1908 ,Gounod music , with the variation of Phryne which I danced at POB School as well@13 years old!
Happy and lucky memories !!

Bravo to all students for improving tremendously during the week in these French challenges !
