Pre-Professional Division Instructors
This new class will help raise the level of technique and performance in our aspiring artists.
Students will bring into class a phrase or dance that they are working on or have already performed. If they don’t have one, the instructor will teach them a phrase. The coaching will often be one on one, so there will be time to study how a student responds to comments and develops the movement from those comments.
Some of the class time might be spent working on comments students have been given by other instructors. It is important that students understand that clarity of technique is critical for clarity of performance. Because of that, the instructor will be emphasizing technical corrections as necessary.

Immerse yourself in Music with your child
Just as children learn to speak by hearing language spoken to and around them, so too they can achieve basic music competency by being sung to and singing with those they are closest to. Basic music competency means being able to sing a melody and to reproduce rhythm accurately and can be achieved by the age of five. Bonding with your child(ren) through music is one of the best gifts you can give them, regardless of how you perceive your own musical ability.
Because movement is a natural corollary of music, and because young children learn best through play, we will engage in all kinds of playful physical movement, fine and gross motor, to enrich the experience. Be prepared to put your silly hat on and join the fun!
