Supplementary Studies

During the 5th-8th levels of fundamental ballet education, decor and costume history lessons are obligatory supplementary lessons. They aim to supply general knowledge and the ability to design relevant costumes and decors according to the epoch of a staged performance. These lessons are conducted by instructors raised by the late Mrs. İncila Yar, teacher of many ballet and theatre artists of Turkey.

During the 1st-4th levels of advanced ballet education, ballet history is an obligatory supplementary lesson. Important ballet works are studied theoretically and performed on stage each year. Through repertoire lessons students become familiar with works like Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Le Corsaire, Don Quixote, Cinderella, Giselle, Les Sylphides, La Bayadere, Sleeping Beauty and Paquita.

From the 1st fundamental level, character dances improve dancing and self-expression skills in harmony with music, teaching students that dance has many styles beyond classical ballet, and to move head, arms and hands in perfect harmony with different accessories.

In obligatory solfege lessons, music notes, time signatures and rhythmic features are studied to dance in correct accordance with the musical piece.
