Catalog description

This dynamic dance course is designed for students of ALL LEVELS looking to enhance their technical skills while embracing their unique artistic voice. This course aims to build and/or enhance upon a strong technical foundation utilizing conditioning exercises, flexibility exercises, and the rudiments of ballet, jazz, and commercial dance techniques. We will do a deep dive into how the body moves and how muscles work to support the body when dancing. This will inherently shift the focus away from finding the “perfect dancer body” and towards how to utilize each individual body's strengths and weaknesses to create an expressive and powerful dancer. Physical well-being will be a focus every week as we explore these technical elements. Dancers will also learn choreography in the aforementioned styles and be challenged to execute them artistically.
