Modern Expressive

Modern Expressive Dance

with Heather

In this class for dancers aged 9–13, we continue to expand upon our exploration of Modern / Contemporary / Lyrical / Jazz styling while keeping our focus on the joy we find in dance. We bridge the delicate balance between creating a stress-free, accepting dance environment while at the same time striving to be the best dancers we can be. Free movement is given a framework and dancers are offered guidance to add dynamic elements to their personal dance style. Students are encouraged to bring their own music to class for free dance periods. Stretching and strengthening, basic dance skills, and learning choreography are all a part of class. Dancers are required to wear a solid colored leotard or tank & black leggings, bare feet, and hair tightly pulled back in a bun or ponytail.
