Masterclass - Igone de Jongh
Over the past two years she created three major productions of her own and was artistic director of the United Ukrainian Ballet Company. Ever since childhood, Igone’s life has revolved around ballet. After a career spanning more than 25 years, she is responding with this masterclass to requests to share her personal experience and knowledge with the public.
“I experienced very early on what it’s like to have to perform at the highest level. That elite-sport mentality has given me a great deal, and I’m convinced – especially after my time as artistic director of the United Ukrainian Ballet Company – that I have a lot to give and to add to the methods for today’s generation of dancers.” (Igone de Jongh)
In Masterclass Igone coaches a variety of pupils live as they learn a major classical work, after which the pupils perform the piece accompanied by live piano. Through video clips, quotes and an interview, we get to know Igone better in this masterclass as a person, a dancer and a coach. Masterclass promises to be an evening full of love for dance, the practice of dance and the personal story. A unique glimpse into the life of our prima ballerina.
