Ballet pirouettes

Workshop with Ronaldo Navarro

Various rotations are practiced in this workshop. First the ordinary exercises are carried out on the rod (approx. 40 minutes). Then we will have the opportunity to concentrate on the pirouettes. It is not about the technical virtuosity, but about the quality of the pirouettes, which is developed through exercises and in dance combinations.

Ronaldo Navarro

Ronaldo Navarro was born in São Paulo/Brazil and successfully completed his ballet education in the Royal Academy of Dancing style. An engagement at Bremerhaven’s municipal theatre led him to come to Germany in 1993, where he would go on to later freelance work as a dancer with dance theatre icons such as Reinhild Hoffmann or Johann Kresnik at his Choreographical Theatre at the Volksbühne am Rosa Luxemburg Platz in Berlin. Ronaldo has been living in Düsseldorf since 2007, working as a classical ballet teacher. In July of 2016, he published his third book in Brazil, this time revolving around his experiences in dance: “Etapas de um artista da dança“.
