Volume #3: LEVEL 1 For Graduates of Beginning Dance

The natural progression of this class would be a true beginning level of dance. In the previous class, Beginning Dance Combo, the emphasis is on movement without forced technique.

This first level of class now follows through to a higher awareness of correct placement with gentle technique training as the bodies in this age group are still developing and growing.

This 57-page syllabus offers an intensive two hour weekly class, forty five minutes of ballet, forty five minutes of jazz with a half hour tap session.

In Level One we now begin the long journey of dance training. Encouraging the muscles to remember the exercises is a slow process for the once a week dancer. Suggesting multiple classes will increase the development of each student.

Overview of the Level One Combination Class

BALLET: The first half hour of the forty five minute session is at the barre focusing on correct technique. This is followed by a center practice, across the floor turns and a cool down section with an ending Reverence.

JAZZ: This session begins with a longer time at stretching on the floor as well as in a standing position. Combinations across the floor are more complex as are the center combinations.

TAP: Warm up time is increased with basic techniques done with multiple patterns as well as a quicker tempo. The same will apply to across the floor work and center combinations.
