Course Goals and Objective:    To give participants a basic introduction to various styles and techniques in dance.  Participants will learn the fundamentals of movement through a series of dance exercises and stretches, short dance combinations, and longer dance routines.  The course will culminate in a dance exhibition on August 15, where participants will demonstrate what they’ve learned through various dance routines, complete with costumes, lighting, and makeup.  This summer’s program will focus on four major types of dance as seen on the theatrical stage and in popular culture: ballet, modern (or ‘interpretive’,) jazz (or ‘Broadway’,) and hip-hop.

Participant Requirements:       ▪  Comfortable clothes to move around in:

                                                Shorts, sweat pants, yoga pants, and t-shirts or tank tops are best for class.  No loose or baggy clothing as that will inhibit the instructor’s ability to view the body clearly.  Definitely no skirts or dress clothes!

                                             ▪  Dance shoes or bare feet:

                                                no socks, dress shoes, or ‘street’ shoes.  Sneakers may be okay, but check with the instructor first.

                                             ▪  Long hair should be secured back and away from the face
