Ages 7-8
The class continues building beginning ballet and tap vocabulary. Movers learn the positions of the feet and arms, the basic rules of alignment, as well as, movements in parallel and turnout in ballet. They will perform progressions at the barre, center work, and across the floor to develop body awareness, coordination, flexibility, strength, and music concepts. Tappers will increase movement complexity with shuffle hop, shuffle ball change, flaps with heel drops, paradiddles, stars, Maxi Fords, and grapevines. This class is for all incoming students ages 7-8 and returning students placed in this level.
