Dance+2

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME! Welcome to your website which contains information to help you discover the art of dance. View it as a learning aide to give you all the information needed for your success in the classroom. In addition, it will give those of you who have never taken a dance class an intro to what is expected. The goal of dance class is to introduce you to and experience a new art form. We will be exploring ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop and musical theater dance styles including works by, Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse and others. First a studio must be a safe place to learn. We must be supportive and respectful of each other’s learning process and different rates of assimilating information. Second, do //__your__// best. The arts are about self-discipline. Ask yourself, “Am I on time, warmed up and prepared for all classes, rehearsals and performances.” Third, your dance bag is an important part of your training. You need to have clean dance clothes a writing utensil and notebook in addition to all your dance shoes and extra warm up clothes. Fourth, have fun while learning. Yup, HAVE FUN WHILE LEARNING! Enjoy the experience of being in the moment and dancing. Finally, this may be the spring board to a career in the entertainment industry. You could become a dancer, actor, singer, technician, stage manager, dance teacher, choreographer, dance photographer and videographer, physical therapist for dancers etc. The sky’s the limit. My career as a triple threat performer, choreographer /director and teacher have been amazing and I feel fortunate to be able to teach and share with you my experiences. If you have any questions at all about the industry, ask me. Below are quick links to the student aides for each of my classes and other information. //KICK IT!!!//
