The Luigi Technique: Development, Teaching and Relevance – In conversation with a faculty member of the Joffrey Ballet and Luigi Student
At Dance Education Canada we know that an understanding of how specific dance styles developed and what specific styles influence one another is essential in being able to truly understand movement. Knowing these details will help you teach movement based on its fundamentals and stylistic qualities. Even some of the most contemporary syllabi were not created of out thin air, they were influenced by pioneering founders of dance and movement techniques. Why is this important? Being a dance educator calls to question how you incorporate your own style influences in class. Teaching dance is not simply sticking to a syllabus and exam work, it is your constantly evolving stylistic qualities and incorporation of all your experiences that influence your own creation of movement. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Ballet and Luigi Technique teacher on faculty at the Joffrey ballet Mr. William Waldinger
GUEST: William Waldinger is a regular faculty member at The Joffrey Ballet School. In addition to his position at Joffrey, he also teaches at Broadway Dance Center and the New York Film Academy among other notable schools and colleges. He has taught and directed several dance programs, including his role as Director of Jazz at The Manhattan Ballet School. Certified by Luigi to teach the Luigi Jazz Technique, Bill has recently been filmed and interviewed for the recently released feature film Uprooted which chronicles the history of Jazz Dance. As a performer, Bill has appeared in various industries including musical theatre, concert dance, commercials, music videos, television and industrials.
