In this class, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of theater dance! This class will cover basic dance positions and steps most often found in theater dance combinations. We will do a physical warm up, zero-in on specific steps, and then apply them to a short combination. The goal is to build physical strength and agility, learn steps commonly found in theatre dance, and develop memorization skills. Class each week will follow the same struction, but a new combo will always be taught. Students will be introduced to songs from musicals spanning 100 years! From Golden Age musicals like "Oklahoma" and "Cinderella", to modern Broadway hits, there is truly something for everyone. Students will need to be in clothing that is easy to move in with hair pulled back. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and able to move freely! No special shoes or clothes are necessary!
