Introduction

Welcome to the exhilarating world of Leaps & Turns at Studio C! In Beginning Leaps & Turns, dancers will embark on an exciting journey of mastering the essential techniques, strength, alignment, and flexibility required to execute a variety of breathtaking leaps and turns. This class serves as a foundational stepping stone for dancers to develop a solid understanding and embodiment of these essential skills.

Throughout this level, dancers will focus on preparatory work that lays the groundwork for their future growth and success. They will delve into crucial aspects, including the proper usage of the feet and floor, ankle strength and alignment, pile strength and alignment, relevé strength and alignment, proper hip alignment, and engagement and strength of the back. By focusing on these fundamentals, dancers will build a strong technical foundation that will strengthen and enrich their overall dance abilities.

In this class, we believe in nurturing each dancer’s potential by providing a supportive and engaging environment. Our experienced instructors will guide dancers through exercises and drills that target specific techniques and areas of focus. They will offer valuable insights and corrections to ensure dancers develop proper alignment, form, and execution.

Moreover, this class goes beyond technique and technique alone. It also incorporates beginning lyrical choreography, allowing dancers to explore the expressive and emotive elements of dance. By combining the technical precision of leaps and turns with the artistry of lyrical movement, dancers will have the opportunity to showcase their newfound skills in recitals and performances.

The knowledge and skills gained in Leaps & Turns will have a transformative impact on dancers’ overall dance journey. The strength, alignment, and flexibility cultivated in this class will not only enhance their leaps and turns but also enrich their performance in all other dance classes. It serves as a vital component in developing well-rounded and versatile dancers.

Join us in our Leaps & Turns class and witness the growth and transformation as your dancer conquers new heights and turns with grace and precision. Enroll today and unlock the potential within as we elevate leaps, perfect turns, and cultivate a strong technical foundation that will empower your dancer’s dance aspirations.

See our Policies Page for more information.

Are parents allowed to stay in class to watch?

“WATCH DAYS” will be the first full week in November and April. This is the lesson parents and visitors are welcome to view in class. Remember, this is your day to see your child’s progress.

Please do not disturb the class by visiting amongst yourselves. Turn the ringer on the phone down. Please keep your little ones seated and quiet. In other lessons, parents are asked to walk their child inside the building and then wait in the waiting room, run a quick errand, or treat themselves to a walk around the block! This enables the dance instructors to keep the attention of the students, as well as helps those who may be a little reluctant to feel more at ease.
