Do you LOVE Disney movies like Tangled, Encanto and Frozen? Do you have an interest in learning and practicing basic ballet moves while learning fun ballet dances? (This class is great for any learner who wants to learn fun basic ballet steps or learners who have some ballet experience and want to review and practice following directions). In this self-paced Class each week we will do basic ballet moves and then combine them to form a short ballet dance. We will use a different song from a Disney movie each week for the dance. Various Disney songs will be used for the technique and warm-up portion of the class. Learners will be guided through basic dance steps that will fit together to form a short ballet dance. Learners will also have the opportunity to be creative with how they move! As the dance is taught, learners will also be given pointers on how to stay on the beat and have good musicality. They will even have a chance to practice pronouncing the ballet vocabulary and learn the meaning of each new step. See the four week schedule below: Week 1: Technique- Plie, Tendu, Saute, Arabesque/Ballet Dance- TANGLED Week 2: Technique- Plie, Rond de Jambe, Tendu Passe, Bouree Turn/Ballet Dance-FROZEN Week 3: Technique- Plie, Grand Battement, Port de bras, Echappe/Ballet Dance- ENCANTO Week 4: Technique- Plie, Tendu Temps lie, Chasse, Soutenu/Ballet Dance- FROZEN II (We will do plies every week as they are a fundamental part of dancing and used to execute most moves) *Choreography learned will be created originally by the instructor but inspired by the movie. *Dance experience is helpful but not required for this class. *This class has a flexible age range. Moves are basic but may be fast and require a bit of practice. *This class is PRE-RECORDED videos. One video will be posted per week. Learners can message the teacher and ask questions to interact and receive feedback. *Pre-recorded Classes are great for busy schedules as you can do them at a time that is best for your schedule. You can also pause and go back if you need a step repeated or more time to practice each part of the dance.
Learning Goals
Your child will learn basic dance moves while practicing musicality and listening skills. Dance movements are excellent for improving mobility, balance and coordination! Dance helps with focus, discipline and listening skills. Learners will be able to get up and move while practicing dance skills to fun, upbeat music!
