*Beginner Intro to Dance* (OR SIMILAR) is a pre-requisite to this course. If you have taken Dance classes other than this course that you feel your student would be qualified, please feel free to message me! 

At this point, we have learned the basics of the ballet positions, movements, and techniques of Ballet and Basic Dance Movement. We will elaborate further on those basic concepts. 

Class will be structured as follows:
1.Warm-up - Using silly dance moves, we will get our bodies warm. We will do Plies, releves, and arm movements (pors de bras) in all Five Positions at the barre. A real Barre is not required. There are many household items that can be used; a chair, back of a couch or sofa, or a counter top. 

2. We will then stretch our muscles. We will do some basic stretching and learn some more intermediate stretches as well. 

3. Center work - We will learn a new Ballet and/or dance foundational movement at the "center" of the floor each week that will build on top of each previous dance move. Some movements will travel. We will do our best to use the space as creatively as possible! 

4.Dance/Choreography - Each week, we will put our center work and technique together to form a 2-3 minute routine. 

This class is meant to be fun for the kids and also informative of how to do basic ballet and dance moves. *This class is a follow-up class to the Beginner Ballet & Dance class for 4-6 year olds.*

Dance builds confidence, strength, and is also a great activity to stay healthy and fit. Each week will include coloring pages to help remember what we are working on, music to practice at home, and any feedback the students want!
