ABSTRACT: The traditional training method for mixed repertoire dance companies consists of a daily classical ballet class regardless of the various styles and physical demands required of the dancers in the repertoire performed. In this thesis, Applications and Strategies for Relevant and Optimized Training for Mixed Repertoire Dance Companies, training applications and strategies are researched with the aim to improve the correlation between training in daily class and working demands and to support dancer well-being. The research focused on three highlighted topics where the application and strategies were applied; dance fitness, training principles, and technical style. Applications and strategies for each topic were theorized and trialed during practical work with the dance company of the Oper Graz and with professional dancers during a 5 week working project in Aix-en-Provence, France. Based on feedback, questionnaires and observed effects, the applications and strategies can be said to range in success from promising to unfeasible. The overall result suggests that a progressive training approach for the daily class of company dancers requires specific conditions in order to be applied in a systematic and productive method in which both the dancers and trainers are able to follow a sustainable application.
