Manchester School of Dance

An age specific 50-minute class containing ballet, tap and jazz/creative movement. The purpose of the class is to introduce young dancers to the three styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. The class explores the elements of dance; Body, Space, Force, and Time, through creative exercises that are movement focused rather than story focused. Dancers will also learn steps and terminology in all three styles. For example, all dancers will learn what a “plie” is and how to demonstrate one. The use of fun, age-appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. Dress Code is lilac leotard & skirt, ballet pink tights, ballet pink shoes and black tap shoes
