"Minions: The Rise of Gru" Jazz Dance Class
This beginner jazz dance class will introduce basic intro jazz steps. Students will feel like they are a part of the movie as we dance and sing-along to "Shining Star" while you feel like a SHINING STAR with a disco/70's style flare!

In this one-time class, the student will be introduced to a wide range of basic jazz steps in a fun and safe environment. This class will incorporate balance, energy, rhythm, and musicality relating to jazz dance. Students will also be introduced to proper stretching, basic dance steps, body placement, a dance combination, as well as a cool down. **Feel free to dress up and accessorize like the movie if you would like!** **Note: characters from the movie will not appear on camera. The theme is strictly used for our music in class** Here is a breakdown of what to expect: -Greeting/Introduction -Stretching/warm up -Introduction to basic jazz dance steps (jazz square, slide clap, great vine, kicks, etc..) as well as correct body placement, musicality, and correct posture during steps with a 70's disco flare!! -Small Jazz combination (5-7: 8 counts)to "Shining Star" from Minions: The Rise of Gru created by Mrs. Danielle implementing material just learned. -Wrap Up/Review -Cool Down -Closing/Good Bye **NOTE** Learners will be muted following introductions to alleviate any background noise. If you students have questions, they may raise their hand and un-mute themselves! :) I will always try my best to prevent any interferences and disruption while the music and dance instruction is going on.

Hey everyone!! My name is Mrs. Danielle :)
Teaching Certifications and Specialities:
I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors Degree in K-6 Elementary Education from the University of South Alabama. After graduation, I taught preschool and kindergarten for 5 years. I have a huge love for children and all kinds of learning!
I am also a trained dancer of over 25 years where I have studied multiple genres of dance. I have been teaching dance at a local studio for over 10 years to children ages 2-18 and LOVE all ages! I am highly qualified to teach ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hiphop, tumbling, as well as cheerleading. I am a trained All American Cheerleader and cheer choreographer.
I currently coach, choreograph, and mentor young students with aspirations of trying out/auditioning for dance/cheer programs at the high school and collegiate level. I have also choreographed for the talent portion of local and state pageants. I also currently coach tumbling, choreograph, and judge numerous tryouts for dance and cheerleading programs locally.
Teaching Style:
I believe ALL learning should be fun! I am very energetic, motivating, and absolutely love to teach! I believe all students can do absolutely anything if they set their mind to it. I will ensure all students are comfortable and are understanding all material with constant student check ins. I enjoy working students to their highest potential and letting them know anything is possible! I love building confidence in students no matter what they are learning and I always try to make all students feel special!
Hobbies:
Of course dancing :) I also love traveling, cooking, boating, and spending time with family and friends. I also love ALL things Disney!
I hope to see you in my class :)
