Dance Foundations for ages 8 – 12 builds on the fundamental strength, mobility, coordination, and balance of young dancers through technical practice and creative exploration. A guided physical warm up activating each body part in all directions introduces a broad vocabulary of steps, positions, skills, and dynamics on which we build each week. Improvisation invites students to sense and invent meaning and intention in their movement. Making and performing choreography moves the group through space and music to fully embody the joy of dance.
