Class Description
Int Adv THEATRE DANCE:: My main objective
of this class is to keep everyone well versed in all of the many different
styles of musical theater, while providing a supportive, comfortable and
most importantly fun atmosphere in class.
It is a truly "you get out of it what you put into it" class.
It is for the student who wants to be challenged both technically and
stylistically, and for the student who wants to maintain their level and
stay in great shape. The class will begin with a very thorough, but easy
to follow warm up incorporating ballet, modern, yoga, pilates and of course
jazz techniques that moves at a nice pace.
Then moves on to the basics of jumping, turning, and kicking, adding
progressions for people who would like to "have a few tricks up their
sleeves" , and then spending most of the class learning the routine,
letting you dance the combination enough to be able to perform it comfortably
so you can concentrate on what you need to for yourself.
It will focus on learning how to dance a choreographer's specific style
in a group, and also how to pull from your own strengths that make you
special as a soloist.
