How is your class structured? 30min of Ballet of Ballet technique and 30min of Tap or Jazz (depending on the Week) featuring a combination. 

How will you teach? I will be teaching through a live Zoom class. I encourage all students all students to have their video camera and microphone on, but it is not required after attendance. 

What's your teaching style?
I believe all types of dance, can be fun if taught properly. We will be doing a balancing game as well as a 5 positions game in Ballet. In every step we do I will focus on breaking down each part. For example a Shuffle has a brush and a spank. I also named my left and right sides to avoid confusion verses being mirrored/not mirrored through the camera.  I also encourage my students to speak up in my class in they are confused with anything, or they feel that they are ready to be challenged even more. for example if balancing in Passé is easy then we can add on by making it a Pirouette turn. 

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? We will be interacting throughout class by the use of the combination as a group as well as playing many games that will help us learn the faces and corners of a dancers area, terminology of dance terms, and finally just to have fun like in freeze dance. In addition, I will interact with each student individual by giving them comments of praise and small corrections to help us grow as a dancer or a class. 

Any required experience or knowledge learners need? Each dancer should have at least 2-4 years of dance experience. Learners should have fully mastered or about to fully master. Know simple dance terminology such as the five basic positions, and 6th position (parallels), Plei demi and grand, tondu, releve, pas de bora, and grand jete (leap). *Please, Note I go more by level than age, therefore if you have a talented young ballerina or an older dancer that wants to brush up on technique, just let me know in advance and I will accept them. 

I do recommend each child to have something that can take place as a "Ballet Barre" such as a chair, door knob or door handle or the end/bottom of a banister. In addition, Students will be participating in a physical fitness/movement activities though out the class. Please be aware that your child can end up injuring  themselves. Therefore please make sure your child has sufficient dance space, proper foot ware (choice of ballet shoes/ Jazz shoes or barefoot/socks, Tap Shoes or Sneakers).  I encourage all students to have a water bottle near by and the student warmed up before class to avoid injury’s. Parental supervision is strongly encourage to help your dancer assure there safety and spacial awareness.
