Ines McIntosh 🇫🇷 (Paris Opera Ballet School)
Solutions4Dancers: Are you attending a summer course this year? If not, what have your summer plans consisted of?
Ines: This year, I was at the Royal Ballet School summer intensive ().It was at White Lodge because I am too young to do it at Covent Garden. It was such an amazing experience, I have learned a lot.
Solutions4Dancers: What summer courses have you attended in the past?
Ines: Last year, I didn't do summer course in big international school like this year at the Royal Ballet. But I did summer courses in Biarritz, Houlgate, Anger for instance. In France, there is a lot of very good summer courses with amazing teachers. It was very interesting experiences, even if it was very different from the RBS.
Solutions4Dancers: What have you enjoyed most about your summer experiences?
Ines: What I've liked the most from the Royal Ballet School intensive is that I have learned a lot about the English technique. They don't have the same epaulement and way to dance in England that we do in France. It was also very important to me to have the chance to dance with dancers from other countries, I learned a lot from them. Also, teachers were really kind and took the time to give corrections to all of us. This is not the same way to teach than in France. I reckon that it's definitely important that other professional dancers and teachers watch me dance and give me different corrections than my teachers at POBS. It was a beautiful experience!
