Ballet I and Classical Modern I

Ages 8 and older

Ballet students continue to develop basic ballet concepts and vocabulary, improving strength and coordination, and learning to build longer sequences of movement. Modern students continue to develop basic modern dance concepts, focusing on the use of body weight in movement, lowering into and pushing out from the floor, creativity and expression, and building longer phrases of movement together. Dancers may take Modern or Ballet, but are highly encouraged to take both for faster progress and more fun! The Saturday class is offered to supplement Wednesday classes, or as an alternative for dancers wishing to study both Modern and Ballet but unable to do one or both of the Wednesday classes.
