Class Experience

In this summer camp ballet class, students will start by introducing themselves and making new friends inside the classroom. After introductions and fun facts have been shared, we will move into a warm up to prepare for dancing. Warm up will include a stretching sequence as well as activities to get the dancers imagination and creativity flowing. Next, students will be taught several new dance vocabulary words, and we will practice performing these steps together at the barre. Once students feel comfortable with their new dance moves, we will move center floor and perform combinations to show off our new skills. As this class is "ongoing" and students can come and go as they please depending on their schedule, class topics will vary week to week to insure that every student present can be fully involved and get the most out of their time.

Flexibility and strength training will be present throughout each class)
As important as building technique is, the main goal of this class is for students to have fun and fall in love with ballet. No previous ballet experience is needed to take this course, just curiosity and a willingness to try new things.

Learning Goals

Students will learn new dance vocabulary and technique while having fun, getting some exercise, and expressing themselves. As this is a ballet course, students will learn specifically about ballet technique, but more importantly how to care for their bodies so they can stay active throughout their whole lives. The number one goal of this class is to spread the love of dance and performing arts and encourage creativity.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is always suggested for classes that are physically active, however this is not mandatory. As a teacher, I will be showing students how to dance with care and prevent injury. Please make sure your student has proper footwear and clothing, access to water, and a clear space to move before class begins in order to insure their safety.
Supply List
Ballet shoes are highly recommended for this course, as they are an important part of keeping dancer's feet safe, especially when dancing on floors in a home. Please have students wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in. Leotard and tights are recommended but not required. Students should have their hair pulled back away from the face so it won't get in the way while dancing (a classic ballet bun is always a good way to go). Water should be close by so the student can stay hydrated through out class, as water breaks will be given often. This course is designed to be done in the possibly restricted/small area of the home, but make sure the student has a flat, clean surface to dance on and that they will not hit anything in the surrounding area while dancing.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
As a professional dancer myself, I have many years of experience and training in the world of dance. I have been studying and performing styles such as ballet, jazz, musical theater, hip hop etc. for as long as I can remember. In addition to being a performer, I have training in physical therapy which ensures that I can help prevent dance related injuries in my students. I have been teaching both dance and wellness/recovery for many years now and am very excited to share this knowledge with the students of Outschool to make sure their learning experience is the best it can be.
