What is a ballet variation?
Variations are short dances from full-length ballets that include solos, duets trios or small groups. The mastery of a dancer's ballet technique is the heart of the variation.
Why is it important to learn ballet variations?
Variations teach stamina, spacing, stage presence, and many other things essential to ballet dancing. If dancers are going to be successful in a professional company, dancers have to be able to complete a decent variation.
