Class Schedule - 2019/20 season
Class Descriptions are listed below the schedule.
Monday Class Descriptions:
Lyrical I/II: This class is for dancers at least 7 or 8 years old with some ballet or jazz background. Dancers should plan on taking this level for one to two years. Lyrical/contemporary dance requires strength and flexibility, so this class will focus on conditioning in addition to learning choreography.
Creative Movement: This class is structured to be a child's first independent dance class. The class focuses on large motor activities and rhythm exercises. This class does participate in the end of season recital in May. Recommended for dancers at least 3 years of age.
Kindergarten Combination Class: This class will study ballet/tap/acrobatics. To help the dancers gain confidence performing on stage, dancers have the option to perform at the studio's winter Open House held in January. The Open House is the kick off for the studio's competition team, but this class will learn a short dance and have the extra performance prior to the end of year recital.
Tuesday Class Descriptions:
Lyrical III: As our studio dancers spend multiple years in the introductory lyrical class, we have listed this section as Lyrical III.
Wednesday Class Descriptions:
New for 2019/20 is the addition of an adult Zumba class which will provide moms/caregivers an opportunity to take a class while their child is in our Combination Ballet/Acro class. The Ballet/Acro class is recommended for dancers 4 or 5 years of age and in preschool.
Ballet/Acro/Jazz Combination Class on Wednesday is recommended for returning Dancekids dancers or new students ages 5/6. This class will also have the option to perform at the studio's winter Open House.
Advanced Acro is by instructor placement. Please contact the studio for more information about this class.
Musical Theatre classes: The classes are geared for dancers 1/2/3 grade or 4/5/6. The classes will focus on dance technique, but will also learn acting exercises and learn to memorize song lyrics.
Teen Beginning Tap/Dance Basics: This class focuses on teaching the skills required for show choirs and high school musical participation. All levels of experience welcome.
Wednesday Jazz I and Wednesday Acro I: dancers must register for both classes. The jazz I class will be the warm up for the acrobatic I class. This way, more time can be spent on acro skills.
