Jazz and PBT workshops
We had nearly 80 young dancers attend jazz and ballet workshops in Grangemouth on Sunday 4 December...
For jazz we welcomed legendary teacher Jordi Guitart who taught 3 workshops for different age groups. The dancers thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiastic and crazy style and he worked them hard with high energy warm ups and challenging routines! The older students spent time working on technique as well as an emotional routine.

Progressing Ballet Technique
We also welcomed RAD teacher Dawn Ulivi to lead introduction to PBT workshops with our Majors students. PBT by Marie Walton-Mahon (Progressing Ballet Technique) is an innovative program for students to understand training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet. The programme is designed to improve students understanding of core stability, weight placement, and alignment, and we hope to include elements of the programme in our regular teaching.
The students loved Miss Dawn and her lively teaching style, and also enjoyed the challenge of the exercises involving gym balls, strech bands and pilates balls too! You can see some photos of the students in the workshop on our CSBS Facebook page:
Many thanks to Dawn for this workshop! Our new equipment for PBT was purchased through our Dance Fund - many thanks to everyone who has participated in fundraising!
