 Our preschool classes help prepare "new students" for further dance instruction by honing listening skills, a sense of cooperation, and the ability to follow directions, while allowing them an outlet for their energy and creativity.
WINTER 2018
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AND SCHEDULE DANCE IMAGINATION ages 3-4 A welcoming introduction to dance class. Parents may initially participate with shy kids as they warm up to the class environment. Dancers learn dance basics, such as plies, chasses, and skips, in the midst of games and imaginative play. We work on listening skills, music responsiveness, coordination, and furthering physical development. A leotard and ballet shoes are recommended, but nonrestrictive clothes and bare feet or nonskid socks are fine. Mondays 4:30-5:15 (Annika) Thursdays 11:00-11:45 (Renee) STORYBOOK BALLET ages 3-5 Introduce your child to the world of ballet in an enchanting class that uses books to explore movement concepts. Using themes from the stories, movement will be guided by ballet techniques with music and props. Tuesdays 10:30-11:15 (Renee) Full Saturdays 10:00-10:45 (Hannah) PREBALLET ages 4-6 An introductory class for kids who are comfortable in a dance or class setting. As we introduce ballet techniques, the kids will practice in fun creative ways while gaining balance, control, flexibility, and rhythm. Phrase work helps students put dance into action! Wednesdays 5:00-5:45 (Annika) Thursdays 10:00-10:45 (Renee) |
