During this class we will explore Ballet and Tap Dance Techniques. Ballet is a graceful and poised form of dance that is the foundation for all other dance techniques. It is a formal dance that mixes technique, coordination and musicality. Tap dance is a form of dance that creates various rhythms and shading of sounds by using the toe and heel tap of the shoe. It is percussive allowing the dancer to create music.

Parental Guidance
Please make sure your child is in an area where they can move around freely. Also, having a water bottle nearby during class is encouraged. Students will want to be in comfortable clothes that they can easily move in and hair pulled back.

If you engage in these online dance classes, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, assume all risk of injury to yourself.
Supply List
Ballet and Tap shoes are encouraged, but not required. Bare feet for ballet and a pair of indoor sneakers for tap shoes work just fine. Some sort of shaker or musical instrument. (Learners can always just clap their hands or a shaker can be easily made with an empty toilet paper roll, beads or dried beans and tape) Week 2 will require the use of a stuffy or beanie.

Hello! I’m Miss Lauren and am a performer, educator, choreographer and former dance studio owner in Milton, VT. I'm a homeschooling mom to my two boys for the past 5 years and love teaching Math and English!
I am trained in various styles of dance including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Modern and Acrobatics and hold a Bachelors Degree in Dance. I am also a professional for Dancing with the Stars Burlington and have graced the Flynn stage with my performance in 2019 and guest performance in 2022.
I provide wholesome dance classes where movement and music selection is always age appropriate. My main focus is to create a fun and energetic learning environment allowing kids to express themselves! I have been instructing children of all ages for 18 years and have loved every minute of it!
When not dancing, I can be found spending time with my husband and two boys. Dancing has always been my number one love and passion and is the fuel for my soul! I can’t wait to see you in my class! Now let’s get moving!
Please note: Transfer request can be accommodated if requested a least 24 hours before the section begins. This allows time to fill the spot in class that your child was holding. I also try to respond to messages within 48 hours.Reviews
