Tap 1: Beginners – Intermediate level: 0-4 yrs. dance experience.
Dancers will review the basic tap steps and then combinations will stem from these steps. Example: shuffle hop step, ballchange, buffalo
Tap 2: Advanced level: 5yrs & up dance experience.
Dancers will need to have basic tap steps mastered and learn at a quick pace. Example: time steps, wing and butterfly step, double pierhouette.
Ballet 2: Intermediate – basic dance positions (correct ballet terms) should be mastered. Grande jete’, pierhouette, changement, echappe’, jete, chenne’ turns should be mastered. This class will move at a much faster pace. Correct body placement and beginning technique should be mastered.
Ballet 3: Advanced – this class will move a much faster pace. Body placement and beginner/intermediate technique should be mastered. Double pierhouettes, axels, attitude turns, splits/heel stretches (left/right leg) are required.
**Meredith will have the final say of placement
Hip Hop 1: Beginners – fun intro to Hip Hop – we will work on rhythm, jazz/hip hop technique – mastering the basic steps and combinations
Hip Hop 2: Intermediate – learning/teaching will be at a quicker pace – you will need to have had at least 3 years of Hip Hop to be in this class
Hip Hop 3: Advanced – quick pace – basic/intermediate HH/Jazz steps will be required.
**Meredith will have final say of placement. She will consult with Hip Hop teachers.
Please note that every class at every level will have excellent teaching and choreography, while maintaining our ultimate goal: worship. The goal of splitting classes like this is to have smaller classes that will help push each dancer to become the best they can be – whatever level they are on whatever pace they may need. After looking at your choice of classes, I will prayerfully consider where I feel you will best thrive and let you know the final decision.
