ADULT BALLET

This class is designed specifically for older beginners, or more mature body types that need to focus in more depth on body conditioning and strengthening. Class will start with a "Ballet Barre" for full body warm-ups. Developing skills at the barre, enables dancers to learn correct body placement demanded for Adagio and Allegro, slow and quick movement. The second part of class will be center floor combinations and progressions across the floor. The final Reverance part of our adult class is devoted to toning, stretching, and cool down.

ADULT HIP HOP

When "Hip Hop" music was born, a loose, quick, free style dance accompanied it. As the music evolved, so has the dance. Hip Hop dancing does it's own thing, with no distinct rules. A cross between Jazz and Funk, high energy "Hip Hop" changes as the feeling of the music changes. No prior dance experience needed to join our HIP HOP classes.

Details: Age 18 up

Attire: Students may wear comfortable loose fitting dance/aerobic exercise wear. Acceptable shoes on the marley dance floor are - ballet or jazz shoes, or athletic shoes clean of street grit or grime. Sorry - Jeans or clothing with metal zippers, studs, or fasteners that can gouge the dance floor are not allowed.

Performances: These classes are INVITED to participate in the Holiday performance, and June recital. Those students participating in performances will need to speak to instructor regarding shoes and costume.
