This fun 5 week series will help dancers improve their technique, stamina, and ability to pick up new choreography. We will spend time identifying and strengthening the muscle groups that help dancers perform impressive skills like kicks, leaps, and turns, as well as learning exercises that help dancers improve their overall technique. Dancers will practice many fun routines, in a variety of different styles, to help improve their stamina and the part of the brain that learns new choreography! This series is perfect for dancers who might want to try out for dance in high school.
