BalletCorps

Wednesday with Logan Pachciarz. BalletCorps summer intensive, week two.

BalletCorps Summer intensive week two faculty announcement: Logan Pachciarz

Logan joins our Summer Intensive faculty with an extraordinary professional background that includes Twyla Tharp's dance ensemble Tharp!, Boston Ballet, and fifteen seasons with the Kansas City Ballet. His extensive experience - stealing my 😅, I mean, performing leading roles across a diverse classical and contemporary repertoire brings a wealth of knowledge and artistic insight to our dancers.

Beyond his impressive credentials, Logan is a passionate artist, educator and advocate for dancers. We are beyond thrilled to be able to bring him to BalletCorps for our first summer intensive!

BalletCorps is honored to welcome Kimberly Uphoff Spencer as a guest faculty member! We are thrilled to have her join the second and third week of this season's summer intensive!

One of my goals in building BalletCorps has been to create opportunities for Rochester dancers to work with artists that are deeply committed to this art and generous in sharing it.

Kimberly is without a doubt such an artist, and what an artist she is!

With extensive training at the Kirov Academy and a professional career with the Boston Ballet, Kimberly brings a depth of knowledge, experience, and a love of Swan Lake to BalletCorps. Her understanding of the Vaganova technique is an invaluable addition to our curriculum and a wonderful resource for our students.

Please join me in welcoming Kimberly to BalletCorps!

Thank you Maddy for driving down early in the morning during your tech week! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Favorite quote of the day, "Should we return to the hyperventilation station!?" 🤣🤣🤣

Finally! A splash of color to the studio! Now we just have to find a good pianist to accompany classes!

My ballet ❤️ is full! I couldn't be more pleased with this bunch as they all pulled together to put on a beautiful performance! To think that we just opened last fall, and to be able to put on this performance is very special to me!

Scroll to the end to see some post performance silliness getting the better of us! Such a delight to have some familiar faces once again on-stage with me. 🥰
