Ages 8-12
Monday
Turns, Tricks, and Leaps: This class will focus on various types of turns, floorwork, and leaps used in varying styles of dance. This class will help create a foundation of how to approach and execute these different skills so that they may be used in other styles.
Ballet: Ballet is the foundation of several other styles of dance, including Jazz & Lyrical. Students will learn movement at a ballet barre to focus on execution and understanding, then move to the center of the room to put steps together in different ways, focusing on control of movement and correct technique. The music used in ballet is often instrumental.
Jazz: This class is a high energy class with quicker movement. Jazz takes some of the technique from ballet and mixes it with different styles of music and rhythms. Jazz uses a lot of strong, energetic movement and more upbeat music during class combinations.
Tuesday
Tap: Tap uses special shoes with metal on the bottom to create sounds and rhythms to music. This class will focus on moving to music and creating sounds with the feet that enhance the music used.
Acro: Acro focuses on controlled and smooth gymnastic movement. Unlike tumbling, Acro is often smoother and more fluid movement. Skills like backbends, cartwheels, rolls, and more will be worked during this class. Acro also helps improve flexibility in the body as kids grow
Wednesday
Stretch & Strength: This class will help students build flexibility and strength through workouts and focused stretching. There won't be a ton of traditional dancing, but the work done in this class will help enhance other styles of dance
Lyrical & Intro to Contemporary: Lyrical dance is often described as a combination of Ballet and Jazz dance. It maintains the technique of Ballet, but often includes some more energetic movement and expression. Lyrical dance often flows smoothly and tells a story through the movement. Contemporary is similar to Lyrical, but works in a different style than Lyrical. The movement still often tells a story, but can take a more athletic turn and is often rooted in stronger, sharper movement.
