DANCE CLASSES

Technique is the base

As a professional performer, I have garnered many years of experience performing in Ballet and Folk dance companies. I understand the importance of strong ballet technique classes to prepare students for performances and future dancing opportunities. Also, giving young students the opportunity to explore dance and their physical capabilities through Creative Dance.

I offer Paraguayan Folk Dance classes for younger as well as older students, full of creativity, rhythm and graceful movements!

CLASSES OFFERED SUMMER 2018

Paraguayan Folk Dance and Creative Dance

Classes offered are based on Paraguayan Folk Dancing. Classes are divided according to students ages and abilities. All students will receive training in Paraguayan Folk dance and in addition, depending on the class students will receive some ballet, cross training and Creative Dance elements. To enhance students posture and physical strength.

All groups learn basic Paraguayan folk dance training, learn a dance and have performance opportunities.

Paraguayan Folk dance is characterized by rhythmic music, geometric figures, coordinated use of arms, legs and head. Movements are alive and expressive, women dance very graceful and men movements are manly, strong and accompanied by foot work.

Paraguayan dance represents the tradition, mythology and culture of the people of Paraguay.

This is a beautiful folk dance style and I am excited to share it with all my students!
