TECHNIQUE
Instructor: Miss Bekah Black
This summer we will focus on improving our technique by learning choreography in different styles.
Each week will be new combinations.
4:00-5:00 – CONTACT US for placement
5:00-6:00 – CONTACT US for placement
6:00-7:00 – GLORIFY, REJOICE, MAGNIFY
7:00-8:00– 2nd– 4th graders (4th grade girls new to GCDC)
FOOT STRENGTHENING & UPPER BODY REFINEMENT
Instructor: Mrs. Fehr
Ages 9 and up can join our foot strengthening classes. These will help all dancers strengthen vital areas of dance such as high relevés, feet with a sharp pointe, strong jumps, increased balance, overall strength and conditioning, and full articulation and control of the feet. Adding to this class for the summer, we will also spend time focusing on upper body alignment. For those dancers hoping to dance en pointe, this class is step one in that process. If you are currently in FS and are intending to pursue dancing en pointe in the future, you need to take FS all year round.
4:15-5:00 Foot Strengthening (open)
5:15-6:00 Pre-Pointe (for girls who received an invite by 5-31)
7:00-7:45 Foot Strengthening (open)
STRETCH & STRENGTHEN
Instructor: Mrs. Fehr
This class is available for dancers 10 and up. We will focus on the muscles that give dancers powerful jumps and the flexibility needed for splits and basic limbering. This is an excellent class for those that want the extra strength and flexibility training that makes a strong dancer, but are not necessarily interested in the tumbling of the acro-dance program.
7:45-8:30
