FitPro Dance Academy 
 

Help your child live a more active lifestyle by participating in our dance school.

Our Dance sessions run 10 months of the year from September through until June.  Each session is 10 weeks long.  Our Fall Session runs September - December, Winter Session runs January - March, and the Spring Session runs April - June.  A short dance recital is held at the end of each session so the girls can perform what they learn.

Class Content:

Carol is following the syllabus from the Royal Academy of Dance.  The program for the younger girls will be called Creative Dance (with an introduction to tap).  This is different for those of you who have been involved in the program to date; however, we are confident that these changes will provide the girls with a much stronger background and ability to move forward into the dance world as they grow older, if they so desire, and that they will still thoroughly enjoy the classes.  The older children will be learning more basic dance steps as they progress. 

Aims for children's classes: 

- To assist children in becoming skilful in a range of natural dance movements
- To meet and increase endurance and general fitness and to aid children in becoming expressive movers
- To assist children in becoming knowledgeable movers, to develop creative skills, to foster musical awareness and sensitivity
- To develop self esteem and self-confidence, to create an enviroment that enables children to become co-operative and independant learners

Learning outcomes:

- Children will learn to articulate parts of the body and demonstrate awareness of positions.
- Perform with awareness of space, demonstrate control, co-ordination and elevation, perform expressively and respond to the elements of music. 
- In the slightly older children, they will be able to demonstrate basic dance techniques.
