Dance has always been a part of human culture, rituals, and celebrations. Today, most dancing is about recreation and self-expression, although it can also be done as a competitive activity. Dancing is an enjoyable way to be more physically active and stay fit. Dancing has become such a popular way to be active and keep fit, that most fitness clubs now offer dance classes in their group exercise programs. Dancing can be done both competitively and socially. It can be a great recreational and sporting choice because anyone of any age can take part. It doesn’t matter whether it is cold or raining, as dancing is usually done indoors. This course includes a lot of dance steps to move on to the next step of Dancing.
Our Concept-
We approach dance from a concept-based perspective. Rather than focus on traditional techniques, we teach Modern dance through the elements of Space, Time, Body, Effort, Movement, and Form. Through this conceptual approach, students learn modern technique, improvisation, choreography, community, somatic awareness, and musical awareness. As other techniques and styles are introduced through special programs, we explore how they support the above areas of emphasis.

Goals-
Classes at all levels address technique, improvisation, choreography, community, somatic awareness, and musical awareness.

Students participate through dancing as well as watching and supporting others in the group. The class environment values a commitment to self, to the group, and to Young Dance.
