Ballet is one of the most recognizable styles of dancing. It is often characterized by its grace, fluidity, and precision of technique. It grew from the Italian royal courts in the 15th century and has transformed through the years into what we see in famous shows like The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. Ballet has developed into many subtypes, variations in technique, and formats through the years. At Malashock, we do not train in a specific style or technique.

Dance Explorers is an introduction to the concept of a structured dance class for dancers ages 7-10. The class focuses on developing general body awareness as well as core strength and flexibility. Concepts from Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Contemporary are taught throughout the course. The class is generally more imaginative and play-based while working within the structure of a dance class.

Malashock Minis is an introduction to dance for movers, groovers, makers, and shakers ages 2.5-6. Classes offer kiddos a chance to learn basic dance technique through creativity based exercises and games. Each session has a theme that informs the framework for these explorations and offers a story element to class. Dance classes help support gross motor development as well as core strength, flexibility, alignment, and joint stability as well as a creative outlet and opportunity for self expression. In addition to the physical benefits, our Minis dance classes offer students a chance to practice social skills like taking turns, sharing, and waiting patiently.

For the past three years, my daughter has taken modern dance classes here with pleasure. The drive is unpleasant because we live in La Mesa, but it is the only spot like it. She like it, so we dance while we drive.

Last week, I attended my first dance lesson in years. Malashock is a very friendly place, and I had a great time here with my teacher, my classmates, and the upbeat atmosphere. Getting into the mental and emotional space to express myself via dancing was fantastic. I'm eager to enroll in more classes and prepare my body so that it can support this artistic expression.
