The Cygnet Society's Movement & Music Workshop

Tulsa Ballet welcomes 32 Cygnets for the 2011-2012 Cygnet Society! A cygnet is a young swan. For one year, each eighth grade girl enrolled in the Cygnet Society receives an inside look to the world of dance through taking dance and music classes, enjoying interactions with the professional dancers, watching Tulsa Ballet performances – all while building lasting friendships with other Cygnets through this artistically-enriching program. 

Earlier in the season, the young ladies enjoyed watching The Merry Widow at the Tulsa PAC, and later, were able to ask the dancers about the performance at their recent Music & Movement Workshop. Also during their Music & Movement Workshop, the Cygnets learn ballet movements in a master class with Tulsa Ballet Mistress Susan Frei. Following their ballet class, they learned about the music used in ballet from Tulsa Ballet Pianist Andrew Lahti. 

After watching a company rehearsal, Cygnets had a brief Q & A with the dancers.

Cygnets enjoyed learning various ballet steps in the movement portion of their workshop.

Cygnets learned jumps and turns.

Each Cygnet received a pointe shoe signed by Tulsa Ballet Principal Soo Youn Cho.
