Leaps & Turns is an important component in every dancer's repertoire and will enhance all dance styles. Our Ballet - Leaps & Turns classes focus on the most basic of turns (chaine, pique, pirouette) through the advanced turns (attitude, arabesque, coupé, fouetté, à la seconde, multiple pirouettes) and variations of all of the above. Ballet - Leaps & Turns also progresses from basic leaps and jumps (grand jeté, saut de chat, sauté, glissade, jeté, assemblé, pas de chat, sissonne), to advanced leaps and jumps. The student's goal is to execute a series of complicated turn or leap patterns technically correct and safely.
G.O.A.L. Fitness is an introduction to the practice of rapid and continuous movements and toning for our young dancers. This class will allow their energy and endurance to excel during performances and classes. Awareness and knowledge of exercising and nutrition is SDC aim for each student to learn. Dancers will be in a supportive environment, that will help reach health and exercise goals. This class is highly recommend for all students.
A vital supplement to any dancer, gymnast, ice skater, or athlete's training regiment, Stretch Course focuses on improving flexibility of various muscular groups throughout the torso and legs to increase a wider range of movement and lessen the risk of injury. This course is a great warmup when taken as a pre-cursor to classes in other styles of movement. Students are encouraged to enroll in Stretch Intensity classes to see the greatest benefit.
Creating rhythms and sounds, tap dancing is truly unique. Tappers develop musicality, rhythm, and the ability to understand complex patterns. Tap is beneficial to gymnasts, ice skaters, martial artists, and athletes, as it develops nimble, quick feet through the transition of weight placement.
