About This Activity
Description
Ages 5-8
Ballet is the foundation for many other dance styles. Beginning in the youngest classes, students learn proper terminology for ballet skills, such as pliés and tendus. Ballet classes include technique at the barre, center work, variations, and across the floor skills. We focus on proper body alignment and musicality, while developing strength, balance, and grace. Tap is a dance style involving rhythm and dynamics. The class emphasis is on developing proper tap technique and producing clear tap sounds. Tappers start with a graduated warm-up to loosen their ankles and knees for proper execution of skills. Following this, students practice center work to learn and perfect tap techniques.
