STUDY
GROUP

The Ballet Studies Center Study Group was the beginning of our work, in 2011. It is a research space where we can reflect and debate, collectively, themes that feed our teaching/learning practice with ballet.

Since the beginning of 2022, our meetings have been virtual and open to anyone interested in our methodology.
We have 10 meetings per year, divided into 2 academic semesters. Each semester has 5 meetings, and each meeting lasts 3 hours.

As the idea is for everyone to participate actively, expressing considerations and doubts about the topics discussed, the meetings are not recorded, the discussion is contextualized in the group's experience.

The dates and themes of the 5 meetings each semester are announced on our social networks approximately one month in advance and each participant can commit to as many meetings as they wish.
