In this Ballet Summer Dance Camp your dancer will enjoy three days of solid Ballet class! Each class begins traditional barre work. We will then stretch and work on flexibility. We will do splits, straddles and turn out exercises. Centre floor Ballet technique will then be taught. Moves such as balance, pas de bouree, glissade, pique, pique turns and chaine turns and pirouettes. Each day new technique will be added on and made more difficult. More difficulty includes change of tempo and adding different arm movements. Each class will include beautiful choreography which puts together what has been taught in class. The choreography will be added onto every day so by the end of the 3 day session the dancers will have a wonderful routine to show off! We may even do some fun dance games as well as Ballet worksheets! Ballet Dance is a wonderful dance style for this age group. It is both structured and technical, but in a graceful, beautiful way. My class is always very positive and supportive of dancers. I want my dancers/learners to leave class feeling proud of themselves! ***Please note, this is not a beginning class. Dancers must already have knowledge of the five positions, plie, releve, tendu, and ronde de jambe.***
Learning Goals
The goal is for the dancers to continue their ballet training in the Summer and improve technique.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Manhattanville Colege
I have been teaching all forms of dance for 32 years! I am a 1991 Summa Cum Laude graduate of Manhattanville College with a minor in Dance. While there, I focused on Jazz, Ballet, and Modern. I even performed in the Soviet Union in 1989!
I opened my dance school at the age of 23 and still love it! I teach all ages Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe and Modern. My true specialty is Jazz. I love the energy and unique creativity available though Jazz Dance.
Dance class is more than just "dance". It teaches grace, poise, discipline and self confidence. All qualities that will benefit a student in all areas of their lives.
I have been happily married for 24 years and have a 19 year old son who is a sophmore at Fairfield University. He even competed in Jazz and Hip Hop until 7th grade when soccer took over!
I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and love of dance with the Outschool Community.Reviews
