Young dancers will gain the experience & skills of a beginner level classical & lyrical ballet class. Young dancers will enjoy movement, increase posture, and acquire knowledge of technique. Students will learn french terminology, increase core strength & flexibility! Dancing is inherently uplifting and rewarding. Young dancers will leave feeling refreshed & accomplished from executing ballet exercises. Dancers will have fun, while working on core strength, balance, and poise. I've been classically trained, and also enjoy incorporating modern and lyrical moves. I've taught Ballet for 20 plus years & look forward to sharing my passion for dance with you! Each week we will work on basic ballet technique, alignment, balance, posture, grace, flexibility, beginning choreography & self-expression! I place high value on positive student/teacher interaction. All classes will be filled with fun & enjoyment of creativity! Young dancers will be given time & space to move & share idea & even help co-create & choreograph movements. Review from another version of this same class: My 5 year old says, "I really liked the class. It was fun. I liked jumping and doing my curtsy." I say it was amazing. I wasn't sure if it would be "real" ballet or more of a music and movement class. This was definitely ballet including proper terms and positions. Mrs. Gole had a good handle on teaching and keeping it appropriate to the ability of the girls in the class. I'd definitely recommend this to any students who are interested in a beginner ballet class. We will be signing up for more classes with Mrs. Gole. - Melissa O. No experience necessary, but loving dance is a plus!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dance is an artistic, athletic & expressive form of physical activity. The physical aspects can be both a valuable source of exercise and also have unique demands. Dance will involve jumping, turning, toe pointing, and hip exercises. I recommend you consult with a physician before beginning any exercise program. You should be in healthy physical condition to be able to participate in the dance exercises in this class.
Supply List
Ballet Shoes & Comfortable Dance Wear are suggested. We also incorporate props on occasion, like scarves to wave & stuffed animals.
