Dublin Mini Retreat
Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September 2025
at
Dance Theatre of Ireland, Dun Laoghaire.

Our annual 2 day Mini Retreat at Dance Theatre of Ireland is always a big hit and for our next retreat we will explore Juliet’s solo from Act 1 of The Royal Ballet’s production of Romeo and Juliet. This ballet is a personal favourite of mine, mostly because of the stunning score by Prokofiev which accompanies it. This solo signals the moment just after Juliet sets eyes on Romeo for the first time and is full of sweeping and nuanced movements which look lighter than air to portray her elation at falling in love at first sight!
To see Royal Ballet Principal dancer Yasmine Naghdi perform the solo, please click here.
This Mini Retreat is suitable for Intermediate level adult ballet dancers or Beginner’s with a strong technical and musical understanding but sadly this event is not suitable for complete Beginner level dancers.
