Spring is upon us and with this new beginning, we wanted to mention a few changes. Denise and Jennifer (our wonderful ballet teachers!) are in the process of revising the ballet syllabus/curriculum in order to place all of our students in their appropriate levels to enhance and support growth and enable everyone to reach their goals. You may notice that the "names" of some of the classes may have changed. The terminology of levels is simply a guideline and a tool for the teachers to ensure a strong technical foundation for all dancers. Both Denise and Jennifer are dedicated to a beautiful, vibrant and technically sound ballet core. Denise and Jennifer both welcome any and all questions as they begin this exciting season at the Dance Workshop.
And, by the way, what's Ballet Conditioning? An hour of methodically choreographed exercises that build core strength, flexibility, and muscle firmness and is a great class for both dancers and non- dancers, alike.
Jennifer Fitzgerald, a former dancer with the Sacramento Ballet, the San Jose Ballet, and a certified Pilates instructor will be adding classes on Mondays and Thursdays, including Pilates for dancers (and yes, non- dancers, too!) Watch for updates on the schedule in the upcoming week! Click on her name to see photos of her dancing!
Intermediate II/III Ballet Mondays, 6:30-8:00pm
Pointe Mondays, 8:00-9:00pm
Intermediate I Ballet Thursdays, 5:45-7:15pm
Pilates for Dancers Thursdays, 7:15-8:15pm Non-dancers are also welcome to this open level class!
Cold & Flu Policy!! Due to the seriousness of this year's flu season and the concerns of some of our parents, we're letting you know, as gently as possible, that we are being absolutely strict with our cold and flu policy! We're not doctors, so if you or your child is sniffling, or coughing or has a runny nose or temperature - we're sending you home. We need to keep everyone healthy, from the the 4 year olds to our senior citizens, (as well as our teachers,) so please be courteous! Remember that we have a very generous make-up policy: you can make up all missed classes as long as you do it within the eight week session.
If you or your child has allergies: Bring us a note from the doctor. (You don't have to make and appointment, just call them and ask for them to mail a note home to you.) the note should say that (student name) has seasonal allergies that present like (symptoms) and we will keep that on file. If we don't have a note, you go home. Again, we're not doctors and we're trying to keep everyone healthy! __________________
Save this date: Saturday, February 6, for this year's Davis Dance Project: Creating Choreography - the Art of Making Dance. It's a great opportunity to learn how dances are created, and participate in the creation of a new dance for performance! There will be two shows, a 2:00pm Matinee and a 7:00pm Evening show.
