Pre Irish Dance
Posture and correct body alignment is emphasized as students begin to build a solid foundation for Irish dance and for injury prevention. Much of Irish dance is borrowed from ballet, therefore, dancers will learn how to work at the barre while executing basic positions and movements for their foundational Irish dance skills.
Learning to maintain focus and concentration during class is an especially important aspect of the Pre-Irish Dance year. Dancers will participate in age-appropriate exercises that aid in increasing flexibility, carriage/posture, musicality, coordination, balance, and strength. Simple jumps and fun traveling steps are introduced to build muscle control and stamina, while also encouraging the joy of movement and expression.
