This class will serve as an introduction to stage combat for the actor.

Intermediate/Advanced Ballet: Focus in this class will be on the massive amount of steps that make up the classical ballet vocabulary. Students will learn to execute a complete advanced ballet class from start to finish.
Along with Ballet, Modern Dance is considered an essential technique for any aspiring dancer. In this class students will use Hawkins based technique and energy flow to explore the traditional movement qualities and vocabulary associated with modern dance.
