About

As of now, I, Amy Growcott, founder of The Marius Petipa Society, am offering ballet history lessons and presentations. I am introducing this as a new service of the Petipa Society because it is important to not just have information in print and available on digital platforms, but to teach and share knowledge in a direct manner with a wider audience. I am now offering ballet history lessons to the following:

• Ballet and Dance Schools
• Educational and Historical Institutions
• Ballet and Dance Companies and Theatres

Age groups:

• Adults
• Children aged 10+

The lessons and presentations can be given online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams and/or in-person. Travel arrangements (if necessary), locations, languages, dates, times and fees are all for discussion.

Topics

The primary topics covered in my lessons and presentations are:

• Ballet of the 19th Century
  • The Romantic Era (1831-1847)
    • Ballets of Filippo Taglioni
    • Ballets of Jules Perrot
    • Ballets of Joseph Mazilier
  • The Classical Era (1862-1899)
    • Ballets of Arthur Saint-Léon
    • Ballets of Marius Petipa
• Ballet of the early 20th Century
  • Ballet in Russia from 1900-1917
  • The early years of the Ballets Russes
