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.
