In this class we will be learning an excerpt from the ballet "Nutcracker", "Mother Ginger". "Mother Ginger" is fun and lively dance that will have the students smiling and laughing with joy. We will first start with a short warm up before we beginning learning the choreography. I will first break down each step and demonstrate it before I have the learners copy me. We will then do the steps all together. I am a fun and open teacher and encourage learners to ask questions. I want all my students to feel comfortable and happy when in my class. In this course you will need to have a least taken beginning ballet in order to understand the basic vocabulary that will be used.
Learning Goals
The learners will be able to experience the magic of " The Nutcracker" from their homes!

Make sure that the floor is not slick as well. Students will need to make sure that they are warmed up and that they have a bottle of water with them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone my name is Gardenia Gilbert. I teach several different styles of dance i.e ballet, contemporary, and introduction to dance, along with fitness classes. I am a professional dancer that has been working in this field since graduating with a B.S in dance in 2015. I believe that everyone can benefit from moving their bodies. Not everyone has to be an experienced dancer or athlete to want to move their bodies.
Some of the best lessons I’ve learned were from ballet classes, that I’m still applying on my current journey in life. The lessons consist of discipline, passion, and confidence in who I am. I want my students to have fun and use whatever knowledge they gain in class on their journey.
As a special treat, some fun facts about me are that I'm currently learning French and I still love taking dance classes. You are never too old or experienced to still be considered a student.
*If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will respond within the 24hr to 48hr time frame.
