DANCEFX ATHENS ADULT CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
 

BALLET Ballet barre, floor work and technique. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels available. Beginners will learn classical ballet fundamentals from the very beginning basics, and gain agility, flexibility, balance and body awareness. Advanced dancers will find their class tailored to the individual dancer's needs with master teachers fine tuning technique, giving advanced turn and jump combinations, and recommending personal goals. Ballet shoes required.
TAP Grace Bagwell and Donna Frick cover all levels and styles  of tap dance this session. Beginners will learn tap basics and build their knowledge of sounds and tap vocabulary with plenty of style and lots of fun. More advanced tappers will be given rhythmic challenges, advanced tap tricks, and fast-paced choreography.  Tap shoes required.
JUST FOR BEGINNERS JAZZ New-to-jazz dancers will learn the basics of jazz dance and technique in a fun and encouraging environment. Jazz Dance will increase flexibility, core strength and balance as well as musicality. An outgrowth of ballet's fusion with contemporary music, jazz dance often uses popular radio music to inspire movement that is similar to both theater and street dancing. Get ready for kicks, turns, tricks and fun! Soft-soled jazz shoes required.
INT-ADV JAZZ  Intermediate and Advanced Jazz are for dancers who are ready to enhance their jazz dance vocabulary and ability. This class will be tailored to the individual dancer's needs and address technique, turns, leaps, tricks and Dancefx style. Dancers should have prior knowledge of basic jazz dance and be able to do a double pirouette. It is a great pairing with Intermediate and Advanced Contemporary 2/3 if you desire more choreography, combos, and dance time.
JUST FOR BEGINNERS CONTEMPORARY DANCE
Now coming to a public spotlight in FOX's So, You Think You Can Dance, Contemporary Dance is a feel-good, self-expression based movement to often slower modern songs. Though Contemporary Dance places the choreographer in total control, the dancer is able to shape the movement to suit their feelings at that moment. Brought to public popularity by Mia Michaels, Contemporary Dance gives you a moment in your day to relax, move and clear your head. This beginners class is taught at an easy going pace and will be tailored to the participants in the class. Dancers will work on increasing balance, agility, stretch and strength.
CLOGGING Explore the foundation of clogging in a fun, friendly atmosphere with a focus of style, technique, beat, and intricate rhythms.
INTRO TO IMPROV Increase your range of motion, personal style and vocabulary with a gentle introduction to improvisation from a contemporary dance stand point. Investigate improvisation techniques, studies, and participate weekly in your own personal discovery. We can't wait to see you.
LATIN SOCIAL DANCE  Basics and latest moves of today’s most popular Latin social dances. Salsa, Merengue, Bachata. After class, take your new moves to the dance floor in downtown Athens- Wednesday is Salsa night! This class is an 8 week session starting September 8 and will cost $120 for the session.

INT/ADV/PRO CONTEMPORARY
Now coming to a public spotlight in FOX's So, You Think You Can Dance, Contemporary Dance is a feel-good, self expression based movement to often slower modern songs. Dancers should have a basic knowledge of ballet technique and desire a quicker paced, choreography based class. Full warm up with technique training exercises, across the floor and a focus on the weekly combos, it will reignite your love of dance. For a technique building class pairing, take with Int or Adv Jazz.
