Youth Programs
The Recreation Department and Premiere Plus will again bring classes for dancers age 3 through teen to you. This 30-week program will culminate with our annual spring recital tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 6, 2011.
For your convenience, payment for this 30 week program will be divided into two 15 week sessions, with payment due at our fall registration and again in January. Dancers must be registered in both sessions to perform in our spring recital. Costumes for our performance range in price from $50 to $65. A non-refundable deposit of $30 will be due the week of November 1. A complete schedule of important dates, parent observation days, and program breaks will be available at the 1st class.
Pre-School
Bouncing, clapping, singing, skipping and making new friends...imagine having all of this fun while learning to follow directions, to take turns and to cooperate. Dancers must be the age listed by September 1, 2010.
Introduction to Dance
This class is designed to be a fun-filled introduction to Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop and Broadway Style. This age group likes to try different things. Here's their chance!
Hip-Hop Jazz
Each age division and level will be provided with a challenging and energetic warm up, isolations, pop and lock hip moves, along with traditional turns, jumps, progressions and combinations.
Dance Team
Precision timing, flexibility, tumbling, jumps, turns, floor work, toe touches, splits, split leaps, along with basic technique and hip hop moves are what dance teams are all about. Take dance from an experienced dance team coach and learn what you need to know!
Ballet
Foundation for all dance forms. This class will teach technique, terminology, body placement and posture, along with basic ballet steps and combinations.
Musical Theatre Dance
This is a form of theatre that combines music, song and dance. Ms. Megan is the choreographer for Warren Civic Theatre and we are happy to offer her talents and experiences to our young dancers here in Clawson.
Please be aware that our classes and lesson plans are designed to be fun, but dance is an art form and technical skills are stressed. Self-discipline and respect for your instructor and classmates is expected from every dancer in the program. Good attendance and a good attitude, along with practicing at home and being prepared will make class fun and help you to be your best. Proper dance attire is important. Dancewear, spandex leotards, unitards, tights, dance pants, fitted dance tee-shirts, any color or style should be worn to every class. NO STREET CLOTHES! Long hair should be in a pony tail or a bun.
