Company Open Classes – Ballet with Alexis Oliveira

Company Open Classes

Ballet with Alexis Oliveira

Get your morning moving in a class with the ŻfinMalta company dancers and one of our expert guest teachers. Once a month for a week or more, local and international professional dance artists are invited to join the company’s morning practice. Techniques explored are ballet, contemporary, and somatic practice. Classes are suitable for young dancers and established practitioners alike. ŻfinMalta provides an open and inclusive space where participants can further develop their professional practice, make connections, and experience life inside Malta’s National Dance Company.

This week of Company Open Classes is led by Alexis Oliveira, ZfinMalta’s Rehearsal Director for ‘Geographers of Solitude’.

About Alexis Oliveira

Born in Santos, Brazil, Alexis started dancing at the age of 8 and finished his ballet studies at the age of 15 with a diploma of the Royal Academy of Dancing which allowed him to participate in the Adeline Genée competition in London, where he was offered a scholarship for the English National Ballet School in 1997. 

He has since then been dancing for several big ballet companies in Europe such as English National Ballet (1999 – 2002), AterBalletto (2002 – 2005), Stuttgart Ballet (2005 – 2009) and Les Ballets De Monte Carlo (2009 – 2023).
