SARATOGA SPRINGS — Although the July residency of New York City Ballet at SPAC is uncertain and area Broadway shows are cancelled, Total Body Trifecta’s new TBT87 virtual studio will offer three online ballet barre classes taught by a trio of talent from New York City Ballet and Broadway to fill the void.
Originally, three DWTD classes were already scheduled by owner Mary Anne Fantauzzi for the week of July 13-18, but rather than cancel the annual tradition since 1998, she reached out to three favorite teachers with the prospect of offering Spring Zoom classes instead.
Rising NYCB star Gilbert Bolden III will teach a classical ballet barre with a mini-variation from 2-3 p.m. on Monday, May 25. Broadway pro (Carousel, An American in Paris) and former NYCB dancer David Prottas will teach “Breakin’ It Down at the Barre” from 11 a.m. – noon Thursday, May 28, and NYCB dancer and School of American Ballet master teacher Andrew Scordato will teach Core de Ballet from 11 a.m. – noon on Thursday, June 4.
The cost is $10 per class. Registration and full payment are required in order to receive a Zoom invitation. For more information check the Dance with the Dancers page totalbodytrifecta.com.
