Taught by Miss Cheyenne Parks
These technique-specific classes are the best if your dancer is having issues with turns or jumps and needs more instructed help on working on tricks. Miss Cheyenne’s “Tricks, Turns and Jumps” class focuses on strengthening your dancer’s skills and pinpointing the problem and finding the solution. A one-hour class will help your child to jump higher, spot quicker, and learn new and interesting dance tricks in no time!
We understand that schedules can be hectic so this class is not mandatory but offered to those dancers who want to develop their skills by adding more practice time to their dance education.
Most sports teams practice 4 to 5 times a week to perfect their skills. We are affording you the opportunity to hone in your dance skills and help you be the best dancer you can be.
This class will not perform in the recital but is offered to promote strength, endurance, and skills.
