KK 4-6
Kreative Kids 4-6 (KK4-6) is 1 hour class each week and includes ½ hour ballet and ½ hour tap. Ballet helps children gain coordination, grace and poise, muscle strength, alignment and posture, and team concepts. It is the foundation for all other dance forms. Most children love tap because in tap, dancer’s feet create rhythmic sounds. Tap dancing is often high energy with upbeat music. Although these classes are starting to take the form of structured, classical classes, the ballet and tap technique is still taught in a fun, game-like atmosphere to increase interest and learning. Each class is based on the developmental trajectory of 4-6 year olds.

Modern
Modern is a free, expressive style of dancing started in the early 20th century as a rebellion against the formality and structure of ballet. It focuses on a dancer’s own interpretations instead of structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing. There is more dependence and use of gravity and a fall and swing feeling that gives modern a very fluid feeling.
This class is for dancers of all ages and instruction will be differentiated to accommodate all learners.

Intro to Improv
Dance improvisation is spontaneously creating movement, without pre-planning any steps or choreography. Dancers move freely, without relying on set movement patterns. In improvisation, dancers may aim to create new, original movement, or to use familiar movements in unique ways. Dancers may use improvisation prompts, activities, or exercises; input from the music; their internal feelings; or their relationship with other dancers to guide their movement choices while improvising. (Dooling) Dancers must have a minimum of 3 years dedicated ballet or jazz study.

Tap

Our tap dancers work on learning basics, along with more complex, compound steps and choreography.
