Participants are encouraged to explore space and enjoy dancing. This series is suitable for beginners and will cover the fundamentals of classical ballet and tap technique. The importance of strength, flexibility, rhythm, musicality, and memorization will be stressed. Basics of performing will be introduced.

 

 

Ballet & Tap 2: In this series of classes, participants will gain a more complete understanding of ballet and tap technique. Emphasis will be placed on proper technique and alignment and increasing strength and flexibility. Participants are expected to have prior experience in ballet and tap and to be more self-disciplined.
