We are delighted to announce that Jiayin MasterClass will present its first open ballet masterclass in New Zealand, to be held this April in Auckland.
This special workshop will focus on the Technique and Artistry of Classical Ballet in the Vaganova tradition, designed to help young dancers strengthen their technical foundation, musical awareness and artistic expression.
For students who are serious about classical ballet training, this masterclass offers a valuable opportunity to work closely with Jiayin Du, former artist of The Australian Ballet and former teacher of both the Australian Ballet School and the Academy of Queensland Ballet.
We warmly welcome dedicated young dancers who are eager to refine their technique and deepen their understanding of classical ballet.
Our sincere thanks to Elevate Youth Foundation and Mount Eden Ballet Academy for their kind invitation and support in bringing this masterclass to Auckland. We are very grateful for their collaboration in creating this opportunity for young dancers in New Zealand.
We look forward to meeting many passionate young dancers in Auckland this April.
