Summer Intensive Class Descriptions
Acro/Tumble involves using gymnastic skills combined with strength and flexibility training and conditioning. Students will be divided by skill level and also receive one on one instruction. Beginner skills include skills such as forward and backward rolls, headstands, handstands, and cartwheels. Intermediate and Advanced skills include everything from walkovers to aerial skills, back handsprings and more, based on skill progression. Turns and Leaps focuses on teaching the technique for cleaner and stronger turns and jumps. If you want to work on your pirouettes, fouette turns, a la seconde turns, calypso leaps, firebird leaps, and more, then this is the class you need. Choreography class includes teaching on methods of creating ideas, translating them to the stage, forming pieces, and then setting them on dancers. You will learn more about the methods used by choreographers and tricks and tips for how to better choreograph dancers, to teach choreography, and to build better dances. Lyrical class will build a philosophy around multiple types of dance and storytelling using emotion and expression. Dancers who love to captivate and tell emotional tales with their movement and quality of movement will enjoy all this class has to offer. Broadway Tap works on syncopation and rhythms, combined with traditional tap steps that will help you find your rhythm and develop those fabulous feet. Ballet class is a foundation for all dancers to learn the proper alignment of the body and all of the lines necessary for all dance forms at MVDT. Barre and center work are explored as well as the connection to other forms of dance, including lyrical and modern dance. Pointe and pre-pointe dancers will also learn techniques for stronger legs/ankles/feet and better extensions. Musical Theatre class teachers the emotive qualities of storytelling through song and dance. If you love to act, dance, and sing, this class is for you. Classic Jazz building off of the technique of jazz greats like Luigi, Fosse, and Giordano, our classic jazz class explores isolation, working with the breath and exploring the body's full range of motion and the transference of energy. Street Jazz & Hip-Hop combines popular music with hip moves that will make you break a sweat and bust a move. |
