| New Technique class Thursday 6:30 – 7:30 The Dance Center of Sonoma County 6 W 6th Street Santa Rosa Choreography class Thursday 7:30 – 8:30 The Dance Center of Sonoma County 6 W 6th Street Santa Rosa Basic Technique Class All levels Once you develop good dance technique and rhythm, you can become absorbed in the music and the music will be expressed through your dancing. Learning technique for dancing is like learning alphabet, grammar and spelling for proper writing. It forms the solid foundation upon which creativity may be built. Basic dance technique teaches coordination and muscle control and defines how to move your muscles, and which ones to use in order to make your dancing look the way it should. Good technique will allow you to have control over movements and help you develop your interpretation of the music. In this class you will develop your technique, posture and rhythm. Choreography Class Intermediate and Advanced Learn combinations of movement and presentation. A good presentation is when the dancer or performer allows her own personality and emotions to come out while she is dancing. This is usually the last thing that is developed in becoming a good dancer. This is because it is difficult to express your personality while you are thinking about technique, posture, rhythm, etc. The role of a good dance instructor is to not only teacher new steps and techniques, but also corrects mistakes. You will advance your dance skills and move on to your next level by attending this class, which is designed to be taken with the Basic Technique class or after you have learned some basics. |
