Beginner Level
Welcome under the sea! This "fin-tastic" Little Mermaid Themed one-time ballet choreography class is perfect for young ballet dancers. This class is open to students who are new to ballet and to those with experience--it is all about having fun and learning new skills along the way. Class Format: -(5 mins) Question of the Day: Each student will have the opportunity to answer the question "Would you rather swim or sing?" -(5 mins) Ballet Stretches -(10 mins) Mini ballet class and learn steps to dance -(5 mins) Little Mermaid Freeze Dance -(5 mins) Put steps together and "Perform" with music -(5 mins) Closing Question: "What was your favorite part of today's class?" and students will be invited to do a short show-and-tell (children often show a favorite toy, artwork, or a dance move) Students must have a few feet in each direction to move and should have their device angled so that they will be visible while dancing. This class will be positive and growth-focused! Students will only be expected to try their best and to have fun!!! Think more casual and less serious in tone :) My classes are intentionally gender inclusive, so any child is welcome to sign up. Families, please send me a message if your child would benefit from any accomodations or modifications. I want to make this class a positive experience for each student.
Learning Goals
Students will learn and practice 3 basic ballet stretches.Students will learn and practice 3-4 elements of proper ballet technique & etiquette (posture, pointing feet, etc.)

Parents may want to remain close by to encourage attention and help with any technology issues that might arise. Each student will be invited to unmute once at the beginning and once at the end of the class and may require adult support.
If any technological issues arise during class (ex: teacher is inaudible), parents can send me a message in the chat on Zoom and I will do my best to resolve the issue.
If a family has any special needs, comments, or concerns before or after class they can feel free to send me a private message on Outschool and I will do my best to accommodate to your satisfaction within 48 hours.
