Ballet 4-5

We are little angels dancing 

OVERVIEW: 

Dance classes are divided into 2 parts: Creative movement and pre-ballet exercises in the form of storytelling, interactive games with objects, and role-play. Students are energized and happy to dance. The class activities are designed to balance both the techniques and the creative aspects of a child.  

GENERAL CLASS CONTENT 

•  Get ready for ballet: Pre-ballet exercises are taught using storytelling/ role-play, and games focusing on the introduction of basic ballet techniques: placement, alignment, and the history of ballet.  Students start every class with a warm-up routine, barre, and then across-the-floor exercises. 

• Creative movement: Activities including role-play, embodiment, teamwork, and games.   

PERFORMANCE 

Students will create a narrative Ballet movie to be shown as part of PAS Festival.
