Previous Courses and Descriptions

Musical Theater Dance

Join us for an exciting class where students will dive into the choreography of beloved Broadway shows like Chicago, Oklahoma and West Side Story. Dancers will explore various styles, influenced by iconic choreographers such as Bob Fosse, Michael Kidd and Jerome Robbins. In addition to mastering moves, students will enhance their
performance by making strong acting choices, ensuring that they convey a compelling story through dance.

*Dances may vary after the first class to gauge interest in specific shows/styles.

Broadway Dance Party

It’s time to dance! Broadway Dance Party class will be a joyful, sweaty 60-minute dance class at AWT. Each class will start with a warm-up, including full-body stretching and some light cardio to ease us in. Then, we’ll learn a short combo with a focus on moving our bodies and getting those endorphins pumping!

This class is beginner-friendly and will focus on sustained movement, NOT dance technique. You won’t learn to pirouette or jeté, but you WILL learn upbeat choreo and even sing along (if that’s your journey!). This is also NOT a class that will focus on calorie-burning or weight loss or even really fitness! This class will be low- to medium-impact, but some high-impact modifications may be offered.

 

Beginner Ballet

In this class, we’ll explore basic concepts of ballet and incorporate them into various sequences at the barre, in center and in across the floor combinations. As we progress, students will learn the structure of a typical ballet class and be able to quickly execute combinations incorporating several steps. While there will be a strong focus on developing technique, we will also work on learning a short choreographed ballet sequence – bringing together technique, expression and musicality.

Come On Get Tappy

Want to build your confidence in tap shoes while learning basic tap steps and technique? Come tap with Cam this summer!

The purpose of this class is to empower those who would love to tap and need the foundational skills to feel confident when learning tap choreography.
