Dance Company Dates and Information:
Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3/4 Dance Company will be incorporated into their two class scheduel this year.
The girls will be studying technique at a faster pace with more expectations of mastery. The method of ballet technique that we study is the Cecchetti System. Each child will get a booklet (included in tuition cost) that describes the exercises so that they can practice outside of the classroom. We will also continue to do student inspired choreography that will become more sophisticated as the students learn to use their technical movement vocabulary and gain trust in the other company members. I think that these girls are ready to take their dancing to a new level.
It is exciting for me to continue this adventure of a dance company. I have enjoyed dancing with the girls and seeing them grow and mature. Dance, like any art form, takes a lot of work and yet the reward is a positive self esteem and the ability to express oneself creatively.
