| hese are done with just floor mats. We suggest the study of ballet with this class, as it gives the child a stronger foundation to execute the moves required for physical strength and technique. Most all dance comes from ballet. It teaches students the correct disciplines of dance, ballet positions, body alignment and center body work, as well as terminology. The beginning class is an introduction to basic street dance and learning to count to the beat and how to move the entire body “loosely” to the beat of funky music. Intermediate and advanced are more challenging. These classes work only dances and steps are added on each week. It is fast-paced and weekly attendance is important! Whether it be classical, contemporary, urban or modern, ballet technique is a plus. All jazz classes have a center warm-up, down the floor combinations and exercises to strengthen the body. Try each one and decide what movements and music will make your jazz class appealing to you. This type of dance uses special shoes to make various rhythms and sounds. An art form that originated from the Spanish gypsy flamenco dance and transported to this country to become what it is today - Fast and furious or smooth and graceful, there are no boundaries here! During the first week of class, you can try different classes with no extra charge,
but should be settled in by week two. Classes may change around and/or if one
class doesn’t go, we might put in another class in its place. We also want to try to
keep the same classes, as last year, together so we can keep advancing. If you have
missed a year, you will have to almost start from the beginning and if you catch up
you can advance to the class you were in the year before. Monday
