Song to be Staged: “Dancing Through Life" from Wicked 

Class Description: This progressive series will give you a glimpse into what it is like to stage a production number. You will have the opportunity to focus on practicing performance, stage presence, and storytelling while learning formations, blocking and longer choreography! The goal of this series is to give each dancer the opportunity to learn and perform a musical theater number from beginning to end, telling a whole story with movement, while still enabling you to build confidence and have fun.

Each class within the series will be 1 hour, and will still include a brief warm-up. Class will be taught at an Intermediate pace and level.


WEEKS 1 - 3: Each class will start with a brief warm-up before moving into learning choreography. We will discuss and explore movement patterns, formation changes, spacing, partnering (no lifting), performance textures and dynamics. At the end of the 3rd week, class will discuss costumes and how they influence characters and individuality in group numbers.


WEEK 4: The first half of class will be spent reviewing choreography, cleaning and answering questions. You will then have a brief break to change into any costume pieces, apply make-up, and freshen your hair if you choose. During the second half of class we will run through the full “performance!” Remember, these run-throughs do not have to be perfect as this is still "the rehearsal room!" The Class Manager on duty will film the final product!

Level Description: This is a Intermediate level series. Significant dance experience (ie, many years of training) is recommended for this level. If you have danced most of your life and want to continue challenging yourself while having fun, this class is for you. Dancers in this level have a deep understanding of the basic elements of the style and are competent at learning and retaining moderate to quick choreography taught at a moderate pace. Choreography will likely not repeat movements frequently. You will see a variety of different between instructors in this level. There will be modifications for movements if needed.

Overview description: This series is geared towards dancers who have never taken ballet before or are new to ballet. We will be starting with the absolute basics of ballet and building up key foundational steps. No dance experience necessary!

Over the course of these 4 weeks, you will learn a basic understanding of ballet vocabulary, movement, and structure that will provide the tools necessary to take a beginner/advanced beginner class with confidence.

Week 1
We will begin with a brief history of ballet and discuss the structure of a standard ballet class. You will learn the five body positions in ballet, as well as basic ballet vocabulary.

Week 2
We will recap what we learned in Week 1, plus add on to terminology and movements at the barre and in center.

Week 3
We will continue to build upon vocabulary and steps, as well as begin to move across the floor and progress through basic jumps.

Week 4
We will combine all that we have learned so far and complete a full ballet class. We will also begin to play with tempos.

Level Description: This is a Pure Beginner Series. Zero dance experience is expected and welcomed for this level. If you have never danced or you feel like you have two left feet, this level is for you! In this level, you will learn the basic and foundational steps of the style. Class will be taught at a slow enough pace to allow dancers an opportunity to grasp movements and concepts. There will be a clear breakdown and instruction of movement. Learning fundamentals will be the focus of class, as opposed to learning choreography. However, some choreography may be taught at this level.  If so, it will be with minimal complexity and slower tempos. We typically only offer this level of class within a multi-week series, as opposed to in a drop-in, single class format.

Overview description: This series is geared towards dancers who have never taken Hip Hop before or are new to Hip Hop. We will be starting with the absolute basics of Hip Hop and building up key foundational steps. No dance experience necessary!

Over the course of these 4 weeks, you will learn a basic understanding of Hip Hop vocabulary, movement, and structure that will provide the tools necessary to take a beginner/advanced beginner class with confidence.

Week 1
We establish our connection with Hip Hop music through basic rhythm exercises. Students will learn how to find the beat and tempo of any song, as well as understand the difference between whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, and eighth notes. We also learn simple footwork: Two Step, Directional Step (Front, Side, Back, and Cross), Grapevine, and Stomp.

Week 2
In this week, we focus on the fundamentals of Bouncing. We use this foundation to help keep rhythm in our bodies, finding simple grooves, and transferring weight. Although bouncing is centered around the lower half of the body, we will also focus on torso, shoulders, arms and head. These fundamentals will be added to our footwork from Week 1.

Week 3
In this week, we focus on the fundamentals of Rocking. This foundation is another way to keep rhythm in our bodies. The focus will be on our hips and torso, learning how to rock back and forth as well as side to side. There will also be an emphasis on shoulders, arms, and head. These fundamentals will be added to our footwork from Week 1.

Week 4
In our last week, we will combine all of the lessons through a choreography pattern. Most of the pattern will be choreographed, with some room for students to improvise their own phrasing. Students are encouraged to ask questions without fear of judgement.
