Creative Dance and Ballet with Jenny Foster Ages: 5-8
Come dance for the joy of it! In this class, students will learn and explore different elements of dance each week. Emphasis is on the joy of moving to music and rhythm as well as an introduction to ballet. We will spend plenty of time exploring the rich language of dance through guided improvisational and creative exercises, inspired by stories, songs, instruments, music, poems, and art. The goals for the class are that the children move their bodies with joy, discover new ways to express themselves through movement, and experience the beauty and power of dance in a positive and supportive environment. We will share our progress through a couple of in-studio performances for our families and friends in the Winter and the Spring.
