Tuesday - Dance Studio A - 116: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Step into a deeper level of artistry with our advanced lyrical and contemporary class. This year-long program is designed for experienced dancers ready to refine their technique while exploring dance as a powerful form of emotional and artistic expression.
Dancers will learn to interpret movement with intention—telling stories and conveying emotions through style, flow, and musicality. The class encourages versatility, helping students embody a wide range of movement qualities and emotional tones.
Training will focus on spatial and body awareness, floor work, proper alignment, efficient muscle use, and dynamic movement. We’ll also explore the expressive use of body weight and breath. Students will have opportunities to choreograph and contribute creatively to class performances.
Proper dance attire is required, along with ballet or lyrical shoes. Hair should be pulled back from the face, and dancers should bring a labeled water bottle to each class.
This class will perform in Show A & B of our Spring Dance Show in April. Please read the Dance Department Syllabus for all the details. Spring Admin fee includes a $25 costume rental fee.
Tuesday - Dance Studio A - 116: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
This class will incorporate the beauty of lyrical with the emotion and creativity of contemporary dance as dancers learn new techniques and how to create beautiful dances for themselves to perform, as well as to teach in a class that they assist in.

It is strongly suggested that students assist in a lower level dance class in order to better apply what they are learning. Other concepts covered are: classroom management and teaching skills, dance notation and methods for choreographing.
