Class Description: Open to dancers 18+. This 4-week Pure Beginner Turn Technique Series is designed for dancers who are brand new to turns or who want to rebuild their foundation from the ground up. Each week builds progressively so you can develop strength, stability, and confidence without feeling overwhelmed. The goal isn’t to perfect your turns in four weeks, it’s to understand the mechanics and build a strong foundation so you know how to turn properly! No prior experience necessary.

Week 1- We’ll focus on turn foundations and everything you need to understand before completing a full rotation.

Week 2 - We'll begin to apply the fundamentals to learn inside and outside jazz turns/jazz pirouettes, focusing on direction, control, and clean finishes.

Week 3 - We’ll explore traveling turns, including chainé turns and piqué turns.

Week 4 - We’ll review everything we’ve learned and practice executing turns through targeted exercises and drills.

Level Description: This is a Pure Beginner level 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.

Song to be Staged: “The Schuyler Sisters" from Hamilton 

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 2 hours, and will still include a brief warm-up. Class will be taught at an Intermediate pace and level.

WEEKS 1 & 2: We will start each class with a brief warm-up before moving into learning the choreography. We will discuss and explore movement patterns, formation changes, spacing, performance textures and dynamics. At the end of Week 2, we will discuss costumes and how they influence characters and individuality in group numbers.

WEEK 3: We will spend the first half of class reviewing the choreography, cleaning and answering questions and the second half of the class running the combo. Remember, these run-throughs do not have to be perfect as this is still "the rehearsal room." Before these run-throughs, there will be a brief 5 minutes to allow you to change into any costume pieces, hair and make-up that you would like to put on. All run-throughs will be filmed by the Class Manager.

This Series will require some personal practice outside of the studio on your own time.

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 discussion on the structure of a standard ballet class. Learn the five body positions in ballet, basic ballet vocabulary, and some of the movements associated with a typical ballet barre.

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.
