Summer Dance Schedule

TIME TO DIVE INTO SUMMER DANCE!!

We are very happy to announce a 2022 Summer Schedule!!!  We have lots of fun things planned, ESPECIALLY for our Elementaries, Intermediates & Adults.

Summer is a GREAT time for growth in dance. The mention of summer break may bring to mind images of rest and relaxation, but …taking the summer off from dancing may not be such a great idea. While even a couple of weeks without stretching can result in a loss of flexibility, several weeks away from the studio may cause you to lose strength and technique. 

Summer classes are a GREAT way to GROW and IMPROVE your dancing so you can shine bright on stage. Summer classes allow for special attention on things like turns and jumps by consistently working your ballet muscles multiple times a week. This consistency is SO important for growth in dance. Our very special Eclectic class only happens during the summer, and it’s not to be missed! 

SUMMER SCHEDULE –  June 20th to August 20th

With a week off for the 4th of July Holiday.

Dancers may attend any or all classes appropriate for their level.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Civic Ballet of Chattanooga: Mondays 6:30 – 8:00pm. A great opportunity for the Senior Company & Training Company to come together for a combined class. This class is designed to reinforce technique, and push dancers in fun and exciting ways.  (1hr 30 min) {Emily Fazio} 

Eclectic Ballet Tuesdays 6:30-8:00pm. This is one of our FAVORITE and most popular classes! Open to dancers who have completed their Elementary 3 year and up, this is traditionally the first opportunity the elementary dancers have to be at the barre and move across the floor with members of the Training Company & Civic Ballet!! It warms my heart to see the more experienced dancers surround the younger ones with support and love, and to see the younger ones are so INSPIRED!!! The ECLECTIC class is a fun & exciting challenge for everyone. This is a great class for experienced adults.  (1hr 30 min) {Emily Fazio} 

Elementary Ballet: Thursdays 5:00-6:00pm.  We are excited to offer Elementary Ballet to ALL 3 levels of our Elementary dancers, and new students entering the 5th grade in the fall to adult. This class is a great way to continue practicing fundamental ballet techniques while learning fun, new steps. We will focus on building strength, balance, and proper alignment in order to prepare our dancers to progress into the next level as they are ready. Since this has been such a strange few years, some dancers may have taken time off. If so, this class is the PERFECT opportunity to freshen up on your ballet skills while learning new combinations.  (1hr) {Amanda West}

Elementary & Intermediate Lyrical Ballet: Mondays 5:00 – 6:15pm.  Elementary and Intermediate Lyrical Ballet is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to break out of the classical structure of a regular ballet class and experience the freer movement that Lyrical offers. Classes will involve fundamental technique as well as artistic movements for dancers to grow in the beautiful expression of dance.  (1hr 15min) {Maggie Daniel}

Intermediate & Up Ballet: Thursdays 6:30-8:00pm. This is an OPEN level class and very individualized.  Dancers will be exposed to more advanced and diverse exercises, challenging them to elevate their level of training while still maintaining a strong focus on their core ballet technique. This is a great class for experienced adults. (1hr 30 min) {Emily Fazio} 

Pre-Pointe / Pointe Conditioning: Saturday 11:00 – 11:30am Did you know that pointe work requires more than just your feet to be extra strong? This class is specially designed to build strength, flexibility and control in your legs, ankles, AND feet to meet the challenge of POINTE work. This class will also focus on the stabilizing muscles in your core & turnout. This class will help with ALL types of dancing, pointe included! (30 min) {Emily Fazio}
