SFQ Ballet

Contemporary ballet is a genre of dance that incorporates elements of classical ballet and modern dance.

This is a creative Dance class, it is the first level of an early childhood dance program and will introduce very young children to the basic elements of ballet, dance and movement. Students will learn to dance both as individuals and as a member of a group as they develop rhythm, coordination, flexibility, creativity, expression, imagination, self-awareness, and self-confidence. Children learn the basics of classroom behavior and manners such as learning how to take turns, following or leading, waiting patiently, working with others, and having a positive attitude. Our students are trained in the concepts of movement sequencing, patterning, and spatial relationships which also lays a strong foundation for the later development of mathematics, reading, and other academic subjects.

 

This class is designed for the novice dancer with no previous experience or the student who wants to refine their technique at a basic level. Students will learn the basic positions, correct body alignment with both hands on the barre and an introduction to basic ballet terminology.

plus the introduction to contemporary movements technique and corporal expression into choreographies.

 

This is the perfect level for dancers who have some prior knowledge of barre and centre work, plus contemporary movements technique and corporal expression into choreographies.
