About
Incompass is a neoclassical ballet piece, choreographed by Bethany Le Corre, a former Ballet Victoria dancer who has focused her recent years on teaching and choreographing. Le Corre's work explores the idea of lengthening movement, lines, and purpose; striving to encompass vast movements and passions in a 6-minute ballet. The title, "Incompass", is a play on the world encompass - to be fully engaged when dancing, creating extraordinary lines and fluidity. The choreography seeks to enhance every movement with a precise purpose and explore the depths of neoclassical lines.
