Creative Movement (Ages 3 to 5)
Creative Movement is a 50 minute introduction to the magical world of dance. Using make-believe imagery, hands on props and a variety of music, this class is designed to explore basic dance concepts and expand motor skills, develop coordination, balance, and self-expression. Young children learn best while playing so this class will be plentiful in dance games, interactive songs, and imaginative stories. Dancers practice taking turns, following directions, and sharing. This class will prepare your child for future dance lessons in a developmentally appropriate way.
Beginning Jazz (Ages 5 and up)
Have you ever seen the dance scenes in The Greatest Showman, Singing in the Rain, Glee, or even Wednesday Adams? If so, you’ve seen Jazz Dance! It’s the most common style of dance you see on Broadway and any movie musical. The basic techniques you learn will help you nail dance auditions in musical theater and give you basic skills to bridge out into other popular forms of dance. Jump, spin, fosse, and kick your way into an exciting and eclectic form of dance!
Private Dance Lessons (Ages 5 and up)
Private dance lessons are for dancers who want more individualized attention than a group class can offer. Each lesson is tailored to your specific goals to make the most of your ability, personality, and performance outcomes. With staff for both modern and classical styles, we offer lessons in Creative Movement, Jazz, and Modern. So whether you want to be the next backup dancer for Justin Bieber or get the lead in the local ballet, UCMA can help you reach that goal!
