This class will take a dancer from the basic fundamentals to being a mature quality performer with the education to prosper in the professional dance industry.
~ LYRICAL: Lyrical is a beautiful form of dance that expresses the lyrics, mood and emotion of a song. The fluent use of arms and legs are commonly used to demonstrate continual lines and angels of the body. Students learn to emotionally connect with the music. This allows them to raise their quality of dance to the next level.
~ BALLET TECHNIQUE: This form of dance teaches core strength, balance and body alignment.
