MONDAY 9-17-07
Our After School Dance year has begun! Today your dancer learned the 5 basic positions in ballet. They also learned 3 ballet terms which are French words:
- plie (to bend)
- tendue (to stretch)
- soutenu (to turn around)
We practiced 4 taps encroix in the tap portion of class and we also played a great dance game called “Little Red Caboose”
After School Dance Attire is:
- Black leotard
- Black dance pants (with no feet – to be pulled on over the leotard)
- thin white socks
- Pink ballet shoes (*before you sew the elastic: if you need help in placing the elastic correctly over the arch be sure to ask)
- Black Tap shoes
Your child is wearing her “candy bracelet” home from class today. I told all my dancers to ask Mom or Dad before they tasted them! I don't want to ruin any dinners.
