A ballet répétiteur [also: ballet répétiteur, dance répétiteur, dance répétiteur] is a répétiteur who specializes in working with ballet dancers or dancers in the field of modern dance / dance theater.
He accompanies the warm-up training of a dance company on the piano and takes on the part of the orchestra during rehearsals.
In addition to mastering the instrument and a pronounced sense of rhythm, work in the ballet hall requires knowledge of classical ballet technique and the ability to improvise on the piano: Typical ballet training follows a ritualized form, during which the repeater must be able to understand the character of the respective Practice to implement musically spontaneously.
