Corkscrew is kicking off its new Dance program and want to welcome Bethany!
Bethany was introduced to dance when she was three years old, starting with ballet, tap and jazz. She loved every minute of it! As she got older, she started competing in dance competitions, mostly doing local competitions. She started trying more dance styles out - modern, lyrical, contemporary, and hip-hop. Her personal favorites are tap and hip-hop. In high school she started working with the Football and Basketball Dance Teams. She taught for major dance studios dance while in high school and continued to teach after high school. In Bethany’s own words - “Dance has always been and will always be a big part of my life, it’s what I love to do! Teaching dance has been incredible and I love every part of it.”
Here is a listing of the classes that CGSA is proud to offer:
Creative Movement 4-6 yrs.
Through music, dance and creative play with a purpose, students will learn the beginning fundamentals of dance. We will explore the elements of space, direction, up, down, around, side to side. Your child will experience the seven phases of locomotion, walk, run, gallop, skip, hop, jump, and leap. Through shape study students will learn the very beginnings of ballet. Most of all, we will have lots of fun!
Hip Hop (10 years+)
This style of dance requires high energy, attention to detail, and an understanding of complex rhythms as they dance to today’s popular music. Isolations, popping, & free-style movement will all be a focus of this athletic and energetic dance style, and the dancers will improve strength, flexibility, and body conditioning.
Modern Dance (7 years+)
Modern dance is a free, expressive style of dancing started in the early 20th century as a reaction to classical ballet. These classes are for dancers who like physical complicated floor work, patterns of movement and self-expression. This style teaches the body to move as an expressive tool; body/sensory awareness, structures and alignment, stage presence and gesture. Although modern uses ballet technique it is a unique and creative style of dance.
