Students will practice dance fundamentals, learn about music as it relates to different forms of dance, improve balance and coordination, and build confidence! Through fun movement and positive curriculum, your young dancer will improve skills and learn the choreography for the group routine each week. Continued practice can lead to successfully auditioning for high school dance or drill teams.
ATTIRE: Please wear fitted clothing such as a leotard or dance/athletic wear and closed-toe sneakers or dance shoes. No jewelry other than stud earrings – no rings, necklaces, or bracelets as these will impede twirling. Hair should be pulled back in a bun or ponytail.
Each course will feature a new routine to be performed for the families on the last day! Because dancers will be building upon lessons and coreography from the weeks before, late registration is not permitted. Please register for the next course and its all-new routine!
