Course covers the basic steps, vocabulary, and variations of dance in these fields. Students learn basic techniques based on ballet and modern dance. Through daily warm-ups and exercises students gain strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. Musicality and performance skills are taught through a series of dance combinations.
