Ballet Etudes

Études is a one-act ballet created by Harald Lander. He was a Danish dancer and artistic director of the Royal Danish Theatre. This ballet made him famous on the international level.

Études was first performed on 15th January 1948 at the Royal Danish Theatre. And it is considered a homage to classical ballet as it begins with traditional ballet exercises and ends with bravura displays.

The original team of ballet dancers who performed Études are- Margot Lander, Svend Erik Jensen, Hans Brenda, Inge Goth, and Inge Sand.

The show premiered in New York City through American Ballet Theatre in 1961. It had Toni Lander, Bruce Marks, Elisabeth Carroll, Eleanor D'Antuono, and Royes Fernandez as the cast. 

The Other Ballet Études

Sharon Seder Meko founded Ballet Etudes in 1986 to create a platform for young dancers to showcase this talent and fine-tune their dancing skills.

The ballet school is aimed at children aged between 9 and 18. It replicates the dancing experiences and lessons of professional ballet companies for younger dancers.

The ballet company has performed some classics through the years. Its popular productions include Peter Pan, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Jungle Book, Aladdin, and Coppélia. Ballet Etudes has also collaborated and performed with other companies like Metropolitan Youth Symphony, The Phoenix Symphony, etc.
