Whether beginning from scratch or returning from a break, this is a class for mature tweens/teens who are ready to dive in and focus on building a solid dance foundation. Learn the fundamentals of ballet and contemporary dance in an inclusive environment that emphasizes developing individual movement quality and alignment vs. matching an aesthetic ideal. For those with more experience we'll fine tune existing technique and add new challenges to support a range of levels, with the goal of building a cohesive teen dance group that is collaborative vs. competitive.
Performances: This session we'll build a dance to perform at the Healdsburg Dance Collective's Youth Showcase on Saturday March 1st at The Raven Performing Arts Theater. Dancers must be available for this performance.
​
Dress: Black leotard with pink convertible or black footless tights, or black fitted dance/yoga/workout wear of any style. No skirts, loose shorts or baggy clothes (so the alignment of the body can be seen clearly). Socks are fine, or ballet slippers such as these without drawstrings that stretch to allow healthy toe spread are recommended. I am happy to help check fitting of shoes before they are worn for class. Long hair should be pulled back securely for turning. No dangling jewelry or accessories. ​
