Ballet/Tap
Students will learn the basic steps of ballet & tap. We will work on barre, in center and across the floor.
Dancers are expected to show up to class:
- with their hair pulled up and away from their face
- with the appropriate shoes for each class they are participating in: pink Ballet slippers, tan jazz shoes, tan tap shoes
- wearing formfitting attire (traditionally a leotard and tights-but skirts/shorts/leggings are all acceptable as well)
- also remember to bring a water bottle!
