DANCE FOUNDATIONS (ALL LEVELS)
A class for all levels and styles of dancers. This one hour class is where you can learn and practice basic dance moves and techniques such as leg extensions, arabesque, turns, arm movements, isolations and more. The class will rotate themes and work on a variety of topics over the year to help you in various aspects of your dance. The first week of each month no matter what the theme at the time we will be "breaking down" a different portion of the warm up. Class will most often include sequences across the floor and combinations that will incorporate the "theme" being worked on at the time.
