DANCE EXPRESSIONS PHILOSOPHIES AND GOALS
We strive to provide our students with quality dance instruction in a nurturing and friendly stress-free dance environment.
Our professional dance instructors are above all educators who focus on producing dancers that are poised, confident along with high self-esteem.
Dance technique is very important to Miss Laurene, our Director, and as such , dance students receive quality technique training from September through the end of each December, and not until January do they begin to focus and learn their dance performance choreography.
DANCE EXPRESSIONS CLASS OFFERINGS The Academy of Dance Expressions offers dance classes for students ages 2.5 - adults for beginners to advanced levels.
WE ALSO OFFER..................
RECREATIONAL DANCE which is designed for someone who wishes to take perhaps only one or two classes of their choosing per week and is encouraged to participate in our annual June performance.
PERFORMANCE GROUP is for students who wish to take two or more classes one of which must be ballet and who elect to participate in our wonderful innovative Community Service opportunities. The dancer commits to perform not only in our annual performance but to varied audiences in the community such as parades, senior centers, sporting events, nursing homes, etc. This is a chance to perform all year round.
COMPETITIVE DANCE is a program for dancers normally ages 11 or older who have 4 years of previous dance training with an emphasis in ballet. Acceptance into this program is done through an audition process in the Springtime with a panel of professional judges where the dancers will be placed for the new Fall season. There are required classes that the dancer will be placed in. Dancers will compete 1 to 2 times per year and are required to allocate more hours to train soon before the competitions.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL DANCE program is for a dancer who wishes to pursue a dance college education and/or follow a professional dancer career. This is for the more serious, talented and devoted dancer. Must have 8 years of dance training and decided with their parents to make this commitment. Dancers will be required to take an extensive dance curriculum as defined by the Dance Director and will be mentored by her and select staff members.
Dance classes for the 2012-2013 dance year will begin on Monday, September 10, 2012. Please call or e-mail for more information.
