Dance From the Heart - week 3

MONDAY 10-1-07

• Today your dancer practiced ballet basics:
  

1. first position
2. parallel plie (to bend)
3. tendue (to stretch)
4. and she also learned: releve (to rise)
   We focused on demi point and balance, remembering the names of our basic ballet and being very graceful and fluid
   
   

• Going across the floor was fun! We practiced different locomotor movements and moving across the diagonal line of the dance space.
  

• Our class had fun with creative movement! Through our creative movement we have begun to teach stage direction.
  

• Our dance games focused on listening cues. We did that by dancing to Little Red Caboose.
  

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