SUMMER DANCE CLASSES:

2011 Summer Classes

Summer Performance Team:

Our Summer Performance Team will perform at various community events including: Relay for Life, KLiC Cancer Walk, and the Duchesne County Fair Parade. Dancers will learn modern jazz & basic ballet technique. A performance tank-top will need to be purchased in order to perform at these events. Dancers will also need black shorts, white socks, & white gym shoes.

Jazz/Ballet Classes:

We have two age grouped classes in jazz/ballet. Pre-Jazz/Pre-Ballet is for ages 2-7, and Jazz/Ballet I is for ages 8-12. Dancers will learn modern jazz & beginning ballet technique.

Gymnastics Classes:

We have two ability based gymnastics classes. Gymnastics I is a “Beginning/Pre-Walkover” class. This class is for dancers who are very new to gymnastics and/or are not yet able to perform back-walkovers or front-walkovers. Gymnastics II is a Intermediate/Advanced class. This class is for dancers who are already able to perform back- walkovers and front-walkovers.

Ballet Technique (Intermediate/Advanced Level):

This class is strongly recommended for any drill team member or any Intermediate/Advanced dancer wanting to improve their ballet technique. Dancers in this class will work on ballet technique at the barre as well as various leaps, turns, extensions, & more.

Drill Technique (For current or soon-to-be drill team members):

This class is strongly recommended for drill team members (or soon-to-be drill team members) wanting to improve at an intermediate/advanced level. Dancers will work specifically on steps/movements that are in drill team routines such as: back leaps, side leaps, fuettes, headstands, toe rolls, etc. *All dancers who completed this class last summer, made the cut for all THREE drill team competition routines.*
