DANCE

Fall Schedule

Ballet  Ages 7 – Adult

It is essential for all dancers to have a strong ballet background as ballet is the basis of all dance styles.  We will explore various types of techniques while providing a comfortable and structured environment.

Students will learn terminology, barre, center floor,  and across the floor work as well as turns and combinations.  Pointe work will be added as students become stronger and develop their techniques.

Tap  Ages 3 – Adult

Is a style of percussive dance.  Students will explore various styles of tap as well as the quality of rhythm and sound.  The class will include barre work, center floor, and across the floor work as well as combination.

 

Pre pointe is also available for students with previous ballet training.  (At least 6 years of training and / or 12 years of age or older.)

Jazz:  Several different styles of jazz are explored including: contemporary jazz, lyrical jazz, theater jazz, and hip-hop or street jazz.  We will work on specific techniques and choreography in each style as well as work on developing the dancers discipline, focus, projection, and musicality.

Hip-Hop:  Also known as street jazz, this style of jazz incorporates sharper movements such as popping and locking.  The class and choreography are set to hip-hop music.

We also have Private Lessons and Recitals

This section of the SunnySide School is managed by Stephanie Moreau, who has earned a Master of Arts in elementary education from Towson University in Maryland.  Also acquiring a minor in dance, Stephanie has over 80 credits in this area as well as extensive experience in the dance field as a teacher and director.

Our room is equipped with a floating floor for less stress on ankles and knees.

This class combines 30 minutes of ballet and 30 minutes of tap.  The developmentally appropriate beginning ballet and tap techniques are carefully chosen.  Students learn basic ballet positions, basic ballet and tap steps, vocabulary, plus center and across the floor work.
