The Fourth of July holiday is just days away and The Ridgefield School of Dance is accepting registrations for this summer’s young dancers and advanced ballet intensive programs designed for new and experienced students from ages 3-18.
The Young Dancers’ Program ( July 5, July 11 and 18), offers both Summer and Senior Sprites for three to six year olds and Young Dancer and Junior Workshops ages 7 and up. All of the summer programs may be taken in one, two or three- week commitments. The very popular Sprites program taught by Violeta Katz, offers a fun class for children who have some dance experience, but is equally well-suited as an introduction to ballet for any interested youngster. In the Young Dancer and Junior Workshops, students will work on ballet and contemporary disciplines along with learning choreography in a relaxed atmosphere.
“Summer Dance is a great way for students to experience new disciplines, improve dance technique and continue to pursue their love of dance throughout the summer,” said director Alison Brown.
The Advanced Ballet Intensive is designed to fine-tune and strengthen serious dancers’ technique, allowing them to work on technique in a daily class while including strength and flexibility as an add-on. The schedule takes into account that summer is a time for family get-aways and leaves Fridays free for long weekends.
In its third decade, The Ridgefield School of Dance provides pre-professional and recreational dance instruction focusing on classical ballet, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, tap and musical theatre dance. With a complete schedule of day and evening classes for ages three through adult, the school offers the joy and discipline of dance, with a challenging curriculum at all program levels.
