Beginner Level
Each of the 5 classes will follow this structure: Section 1: Creative Movement warm up. Section 2: Learning a Body Part: Students will be able o identify various body parts and their movements. We will focus on 1 body part per class. I will explain to students how that body part operates in ballet. When students have displayed understanding of one body part theoretically and practically, we will then move on to another body part. Throughout class, I will refer to and highlight that body part and its function as it appears in ballet. (Class 1: Back, Class 2: Toes, Class 3: Knees, Class 4: Heels, Class 5: Review of all body parts.) Section 3: Follow Along Ballet Warm Up. Section 4: Ballet Choreography: Each week students will learn small parts a fun dance to the song "In M Own Little Corner" from Cinderella. (Class 1: Verse 1, Class 2: Chorus, Class 3: Verse 2, Class 4: Verse 2-part 2 Class 5: Bridge ). Dance choreography will include a combination of the ballet and our little ballerinas will also get to incorporate some of their own movements in our dance. 5.) Class will always end with Stretching and Reverance (Goodbye Dance). At the end of this week's class, students will know a beautiful dance they can perform for family/friends/or a talent show.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Dance from Hunter College of City University of New York
I'm a New York State Certified Dance Educator with a Masters in Dance Pedagogy from NYU. I currently work as a full time middle school dance educator in NYC. I'm offering this class because I love ballet, and I love to see students grow in this art. I am also still a student of this technique so I know what it is to approach this on a pedagogical level, while not being too far removed from being a student of the technique.Reviews
