A once-a-week beginner ballet foundations class for ages 4-7 to give your dancer an introduction to classical ballet. Warm ups, across the floor movements, short combos and dance games.
Class experience
Each class begins with the “question of the day.” Then we will warm up and stretch our bodies to prepare for dancing. Each week we will focus on different age-appropriate ballet positions, footwork, jumps and steps. We will use the movements learned in class to create short dance combinations and play dance games to increase musicality, balance and strength. Each class ends with show and tell! You are welcome to join the class at any time. No previous dance experience is required. This class...
Dancers will learn age appropriate ballet foundations (1st and 2nd positions, ballet footwork, across the floor jumps and steps) and learn short dance combinations. Dancers will improve their balance, flexibility, coordination and musicality.
I have 14 years of experience teaching dance to children in dance studios and schools in the USA, Costa Rica, Australia, Spain and France. I was a member of my university dance troupe in the United States and a contemporary dance company in Egypt. I currently teach dance both online on Outschool and at a studio in Australia. I hold a dance instructor training certificate from Australia. I am also a certified K-12 educator in the United States.
1 file available upon enrollment- Comfortable clothing or dancewear - Socks, bare feet, or dance shoes - A water bottle - A space where your child can move around easily
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Please provide a space that has enough space for your child to dance safely. Your dancer should wear comfortable clothing and have a water bottle nearby. Please mention any injuries prior to the class so I can modify the moves as needed. Zoom muting/unmuting: I will mute students during dancing so everyone can hear the music and my voice. Your child can unmute themself to ask questions at the start and end of the class or during water breaks, so please be aware that they may need some help. They will have to accept the “unmute” on their screen. By signing up for this class you understand that dance, like any physical activity, involves some risk and take responsibility for any physical injury which occurs during class.
