Summer Dance Camp: Beginner Tap, Jazz, & Ballet

Comfortable & appropriate clothing required for class. Recommended to pull hair up/back so that it is out of the face to make it easier to turn, etc.  No jean shorts or pants, as this restricts movement for jazz and ballet. 

Recommended clothing:  
-leotard and tights
-leggings and form fitting shirt or top (baggy tops or bottoms make it hard to give corrections for upper body placement and difficult to tell if their legs are bent or straight); alternatively leotard and tights are best, but not required

Optional:  
-tap shoes and tap board (1/4 inch cut of plywood 2' x 3')
-jazz or ballet shoes of any style or color  (jazz can be done in ballet shoes or ballet can be done in jazz shoes if you choose to get either)
-barre or something like a chair to use as a barre for balance in tap warm ups

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

If students need help staying on task or working the computer or app, parents may wish to monitor from the same room or within sight distance for the first few lessons.  The room should be as free of distractions as possible and student should have at least a few feet to move around.  Jazz requires more room than tap and ballet, but can be done in a small space.  Please advise teacher in advance of any special needs or any recent injuries that will limit movement.  While great caution is taken and skills will be appropriate for beginner students, accidental falls, etc. can still happen and teacher is not responsible for any injuries that occur during the course of the classes.
