This class blends classical ballet and jazz technique with contemporary and modern dance. Students will explore movement with creative freedom and collaborate to create expressive performance pieces that speak to their individual dance experiences. This class regularly involves floor work in the tradition of lyrical and Modern dance. Students are given the opportunity not only to learn new types of movement but also to choreograph their own pieces and find new facets of themselves.
Warm Up/Workout
Students engage in a rigorous and challenging workout to warm up at the beginning of class, which stretches and strengthens every muscle of their body while giving them the chance to practice their balance, flexibility, and physical endurance. Thankfully, they are able to complete such activities with their friends nearby, as everyone huffs and puffs they encourage and support each other.
Choreography and ExplorationStudents are given the opportunity to design their own dances, allowing them to pull techniques from the various classes they've taken in the past. During Parent Watch, students show off the individual work they have been doing and the pieces they have been creating. For the End of the Year Performance, students are put in groups to create a dance as one, bouncing off each other's ideas to tell a story and show their talent.
