Dance From the Heart - week 2

MONDAY 9-24-07

• Today your dancer practiced these ballet basics:

1. first position
2. parallel plie (to bend)
3. tendue (to stretch)
4. and she also learned: releve (to rise)

• Going across the floor was fun! We practiced different locomotor movements and we reached for the stars (por ta bras)

• Our class had fun with creative movement, also. Be sure to ask your dancer about “Mice and Monsters” and “Sammy.” Through our creative movement we will begin to teach stage direction and eventually some choreographed movement.

• Our dance games included: Little Red Caboose and Rollar Coaster

• In the tap portion of our class we practiced toe touches, digs and marching.
