Welcome

to the first official Dance Recital of The Mitchell School of Dance!

I am very proud of all the dancers this year for their hard work and dedication. Over the past season, I have seen all of the students grow artistically and athletically. We have had a lot of fun preparing for this showcase of their talent and we hope that you have just as much fun sitting back and enjoying it!

Thank you to the families and friends of the dancers for all of your support this year! I look forward to another exciting dance season in 2012/2013. The staff and I hope to instill a passion and love of dance that will last a lifetime.

Enjoy the show!

Dance Season

Variety of classes offered Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the Mitchell Arena and Community Centre.

Kinder Dance

(ages 3-4): This class introduces the child to rhythm, music and body movement. This allows the child to use their imagination while learning the basics of dance and improving their coordination.

Basic ballet and jazz steps will be introduced using up-beat children’s music.

Combo Classes

(ages 4-5): The first 30 minutes of the class are spent learning the basics of ballet – the founding genre of dance. The child will improve their proprioception and control of movement. The second 30 minutes are dedicated to either tap or jazz - expanding the child’s repertoire at a young age.

Jazz:

This discipline includes strong training in the basic jazz technique while strengthening the body with various movements that develop the control, balance, and ability to jump and turn as required in dancing this style. The music is fun, the class is fast-paced and the student will learn to combine many steps as they advance.

Tap: The technique & terminology will introduce the student to rhythm patterns and intricate footwork while learning dance combinations. This year – an ‘Introduction to Tap’ class is available for students of all ages to find their “Happy Feet”.

Hip Hop:

Learn the latest dance styles with this class. A ‘jazz-based’ warm up is given first then combinations of steps in various hip hop styles are taught. Dancers will develop coordination while having a fantastic work out.

Contemporary:

This class is recommended for those students with some dance background. Using jazz, ballet and modern technique, contemporary style presents the dancer with a different medium in which they can interpret and express their emotions.

Adult: A combination of Tap/Jazz/Hip Hop.
