Alegria’s Full-Time Course offers students tuition in ballet (Royal Academy of Dance and Cecchetti Society syllabi), Alegria's own technique and methodology, all aspects of the classical ballet technique including: Pas-de-Deux and competition Classical Solo Variations; Contemporary (a minimum of three classes a week); Spanish and other Character dancing (Spanish Dance Society syllabus, Italian, Russian, Polish, Hungarian groups and solos); History (includes studying outstanding classics on video) as strictly relevant to appreciating and performing various styles of ballet in preparation for a professional career; Music - as strictly relevant to classical dancers and including rhythmic notation; Composition - this involves analyzing, writing out and discussing the stylistic characteristics and merits of selected solos and group numbers from existing ballets, and encouraging any students with choreographic talent and inclinations to create new works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601243241abd5b3b9b90cca4/1611964752687-A6L072CR3TJGOGFQN2PC/IMG_2910+web.jpg Alegria Full Time Classical Dance - Our faculty. The core of the Full-Time Classical Dance Course is taught by Hilary Kaplan and Archibald McKenzie with regular or guest teachers (all distinguished dancers and teachers) taking classes in Contemporary (Cass Mortimer Elipper, Jessica Goodfellow, Damien Grima, Angela Hamilton, Naomi Hibberd, Shelly Moore and Brigitta Oldereid) and open classes and pas-de-deux (Adrian Burnett, Joshua Consandine, Cathie Goss, Fabio Lo Giudice, Victor Zarallo). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601243241abd5b3b9b90cca4/1612052592564-NHNE5DUHQYXHBYM89LEM/4t6a7625+%281%29+web.JPG Alegria Full Time Classical Dance - Our methodology. Alegria’s own highly effective technique and methodology (senior UK ballet critic Clement Crisp keeps referring to the Australian training of former students of Alegria such as Steven McRae) is a product of ongoing collaboration, discussion and practical experimentation by Hilary Kaplan and Archibald McKenzie. The main ingredients are our interpretations of the Old French School of Auguste Vestris through the mediation of Bournonville, the Cecchetti Method and the synthesis of the two in the hands of Vaganova and Vera Volkova, as well as certain aesthetic values of our own. Our guest teachers contribute their wide professional experience and mature artistry. Alegria’s history goes back only to 1998, but when it comes to auditions in Australia and overseas, students find that our contacts are extensive and that our name carries considerable weight. https://www.alegria.com.au/paul daily 0.75 2021-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601243241abd5b3b9b90cca4/1611993192540-3VEDVJ5494B1PE154T8F/Paul+web.jpeg Paul - Paul Saliba Return to Teachers. https://www.alegria.com.au/natalie daily 0.75 2021-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601243241abd5b3b9b90cca4/1611993361418-HOQZYEBSFVP4D0WTUQXT/NAT+COLOUR.jpg Natalie - Natalie Goleby-Withers At the age of two, Natalie joined her first dance school in Canberra.

Founded in 1998 by principals Hilary Kaplan and Archibald McKenzie, Alegria has grown to include studios across Sydney. Alegria was founded as a proprietary limited company in early 1998 by Hilary Kaplan and Archibald McKenzie. The central studios were originally located in Holt Street, Surry Hills, where the principals have conducted classes in ballet and Spanish dancing, and also teacher training, since 1997. The first intake of formal Full-Time students was in 1999. Alegria’s teaching staff has included major professional names in Australian and international professional dancing, balletic and contemporary, since the beginning, although Hilary Kaplan has always done the bulk of the ballet teaching. Alegria acquired several suburban branches to feed into the main major school, first in Vaucluse (a branch which was successfully moved to Bondi Junction), then in South Turramurra, Parramatta (subsequently merged with North Ryde), Orchard Hills, and North Ryde. The Chatswood branch was fitted-out and opened in early 2005 from scratch in a new development which is proceeding. This branch then moved to Artarmon. All Alegria’s teachers are carefully chosen for their knowledge and experience, teaching skills and personality, and the principals get to know ALL the students personally through the exam preparation seminars which the principals conduct in-person for all the ballet students, and through the annual concert preparations and performances. Alegria’s Teachers Course has also proved exceptionally successful, and virtually all graduates of this Course have started successful teaching careers, some of them subsequently making the move into management of dance schools. Alegria operated the Fundamental Teachers Course in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, with the help of distinguished professionals in Melbourne and Perth, also personally supervised by the principals by visits and coaching and mock exams in those cities. In 2007, Alegria launched the Advanced Teachers Course in Sydney. Spanish Dance has always held a special place in Alegria’s teaching and concerts. The international Spanish Dance Society syllabus was originally modelled on principal Hilary Kaplan’s progress through her years of studying Spanish dancing in South Africa as a child. She rose to become Dual Examiner for the Spanish Dance Society, and Spanish dancing has always been taught at Alegria Dance Studios by Hilary Kaplan, increasingly assisted by Archibald McKenzie.
