MINI STARS
Jazz, Hip Hop, Singing & Flexibility classes for 5 to 7 years olds
MINI STARS is an action-packed, one-hour combo class featuring JAZZ, HIP HOP, SINGING, and FLEXIBILITY! It’s a blast of fun while learning awesome dance techniques and so many other cool skills. Your little star will love every minute!
JAZZ – High energy, fast paced dance style teaching kicks, turns, leaps, isolations, musicality and strength.
HIP HOP – Learn some of the coolest hip hop moves with current (censored and appropriate!) music.
SINGING – Discover songs from Music Theatre productions, practice reading and learning the lyrics and then work on projection, diction and tune.
FLEXIBILITY – The students will learn gentle stretching techniques and will work towards achieving splits, leg mounts, cobras, butterflies and frogs, which will assist their jazz technique.
This class was designed by our Director, Jodie Freeman, who brings over 20 years of teaching experience. Her innovative methods are highly regarded in the dance industry, thanks to the incredible results she achieves with younger dancers.
