Assessments will be done verbally each class. We will also set goals for ourselves, and at the end of the four weeks we will see how far we have all come.Class Experience
This class is not a dance class. This is a conditioning class focusing, isolating and strengthening the muscles we use as dancers. This class is made for dancers looking for extra conditioning to improve their balance, turns, leaps and more! We will isolate our cores, legs, arms, and lots of smaller muscles in between. -The beginning of class will be a structured warm-up to make sure the body and muscles are warm. -We will then move to exercises that have a focus. * Week 1 - Flexibility * Week 2 - Strength * Week 3 - Balance & Stability * Week 4 - Full Body * Week 5 - Conditioning * Week 6 - Review (Full Body) -Even though each week will have a focus, there will always be a full body element. -I will teach these exercises with thorough explanation, encouragement and motivation. We as a class will cheer each other on, share helpful tips, and work hard to challenge ourselves.
Learning Goals
Our learning goal is to learn these exercises so they can be done independently. Also, to become stronger, more flexible and confident dancers. Knowing what muscles our body is using when dancing not only helps us become stronger dancers, but it helps us in becoming more aware of our bodies when dancing.

Parental Guidance
Occasionally injuries do occur when dancing. They are rare, but can happen when participating in physical activity. I carefully guide, assist, coach and watch during the activity to help prevent any injury.
