Dance Class Descriptions

Children’s Dance Ballet Technique

Students work on ballet vocabulary, placement, structure, and all around Ballet technique. Dancers will need ballet shoes, a leotard, and tights.

This class is designed to help your child recognize their own individuality and body mobility while helping them develop coordination. The time will be split equally between ballet and tap dance. Students need tap shoes, ballet shoes, a leotard, and tights.

Tap/Ballet Classes Private Lessons and Semi Private Lessons Available with Ms. Darla!

Private lessons or Semi Private Lessons are available with Ms. Darla. For more information or to schedule a lesson, please come fill out a request form at the Itasca Rec Center. Lessons are $40 for a 1-hour lesson.

Half of this class will be devoted to ballet and barre work, while the other half will focus on tap. Dancers will develop basic ballet and tap technique. Combinations in both ballet and tap will be introduced so that dancers can experience putting steps together.

Tap/Jazz Classes

Dancers will focus on jazz techniques like the isolation of certain body parts and tap techniques such as finding rhythms and beats in the music and their bodies. Students will need jazz shoes, tap shoes and comfortable dance attire.

Hip Hop

This class introduces students to the basic vocabulary and style of hip hop movement. It’s all about a dancer’s personal style and expression. This is a high energy class designed for anyone with a passion to move. Students will need comfortable clothing and either jazz shoes or danceable gym shoes.

Lyrical

Many different styles combined produce a new modern version of Ballet and Jazz. Dancers will focus on floor work, patterns of movement and self-expression as well as elements of improvisation. Students will need a leotard and footless tights.
