Global Dance
In this class, various dance styles from around the world will be highlighted. Throughout the semester, various new disciplines will be introduced, including West African, Jamaican and Latin dance styles.
Ballet Technique
Classical ballet is the foundation from which nearly all dance styles have developed. Ballet Technique improves posture, alignment, agility and flexibility. We will focus on well-maintained posture, with correctly placed arms, and centered upper-body. In this class, there will be a short warmup, barre, center, and across the floor exercises designed to increase strength, flexibility, coordination and musicality.
Hip Hop
Hip-hop - This is a form of street dance that evolved from hip hop culture and hip-hop music. It borrows from several different styles such as African Dance, Tap, and Ballet. As we transformed from freestyle street dance into a more uniform and technical style, we were able to create a fun, upbeat environment that allows anyone to join in and dance along.
