Promoción del ballet clásico en la ciudad de Pasto a través de una experiencia pedagógica con jóvenes de la Compañía Pulzo

Abstract

This report presents the teaching and learning process developed in the classical ballet workshop held at Academia Pulzo. Over a four-month period, a progressive methodology was applied, drawing on references such as Orjuela (2014), Gurquel (2008), and Vaganova (1969), with an emphasis on building bodily awareness, technical precision, and expressive skills. The document details the weekly and monthly progress, highlighting how students advanced from an initial adaptation stage to a meaningful appropriation of the fundamental principles of classical ballet, including terminology, body alignment, and the ability to perform complete sequences. Among the main challenges were space limitations and the lack of sufficient barres for the number of students. Nevertheless, the achievements clearly outweighed these obstacles, as a climate of trust, discipline, and motivation was fostered, culminating in the staging of a short sequence inspired by Romeo and Juliet. The overall outcome of the process demonstrates the relevance of the methodology implemented as well as the technical and artistic potential of the group.
