In this Broadway dance class, we will kick ball-change and sashay our way to famous Broadway musical show tunes! Each class, we will learn about a Broadway musical and then dance our hearts out. If you love theater, dance, and imagine yourself on Broadway one day, then come give this class a try! All levels welcome. This class is structured into three sections: 1. First, we will begin with a discussion about the musical our class is based on, and when it first appeared on Broadway. We will talk about the costumes, sets, storyline and more! All Learners will be encouraged to share and connect with one another during this discussion. 2. Then, we will go into a dance warm-up, followed by a technique section where we will learn dance vocabulary and specific steps. 3. Lastly, class will end with learning a dance combination to a song from the Broadway musical we discussed.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Since Dance is a physical activity, it is recommended there be adult supervision throughout class as there is always a level of risk and injury that can occur with any physical activity. Please have a space cleared of debris and clutter (minimum 4X4 ft square) so your learner can move about freely and safely. Having a water bottle or water near is important in case your learner gets thirsty during class (we will take a short designated water break during class). Safety is my #1 priority as a teacher, so let's make sure your learner is in a safe environment so we can have fun dancing together!
Supply List
You should be in a space cleared from clutter and debris so it is safe to move about freely. Bring some water or a water bottle in case you get thirsty! Clothes that are comfortable to move in as well as dance shoes, socks or bare feet is fine.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
