Chattanooga Ballet Adds To On-Line Content With Friday Master Classes

  • Thursday, April 2, 2020

As COVID-19 began to disrupt businesses across America, Chattanooga Ballet moved its classes on-line beginning in mid-March. To provide additional value for not only its students but for dancers across the region, Artistic Director Brian McSween has secured four top professionals from around the country to deliver Master Classes via the Chattanooga Ballet YouTube page the first four Friday’s in April. All classes will stream live from 3:30-4:30 p.m.

The link to Chattanooga Ballet’s YouTube page is on their website: www.chattballet.org.
 
April 3 – Chystyn Fentroy  - Soloist, Boston Ballet
April 10 – Silas Farley – Corps de Ballet Member, New York City Ballet
April 17 – Attila Mosolygo – School & Junior Company Director, Grand Rapids Ballet
April 24 – Kristina Weimer – Company Member, Ballet West
 
“Chattanooga Ballet is excited to provide this opportunity, not only to our own students, but to anyone who would like to tune in,” said Mr.

McSween. “Each of these teachers are artists that I admire, appreciate and enjoy.  I know that they will offer wonderful perspective and wisdom as each of them has come from different backgrounds and experiences.  I am eager to continue to present world class productions, whether they be live or streamed, and I see this as a way for a little joy to fill the void that fear has left.”
 
Executive Director John Farrimond said, “Chattanooga Ballet will continue its efforts to bring the art and gift of dance to the community even in this time of social separation. We are grateful for Brian’s leadership and vision in these unique circumstances.”
