Students work with a mixture of example as well as individual expression - here they explore 'the bow.' Correct dance terminology & familiarity with positions are explored. Study is made to accomplish certain specific movement skills. There's always time to have a little fun! Students create solo sections for themselves, awakening choreographic principles.
