Along with exploring transitional path work between existing skills, students will also sample new disciplines. Each session will focus on refining choreography, artistic cohesion and purposeful application of new skill development. New skill exploration will include tumbling, acrobatics, partner balancing and pole. Other disciplines may be added by student request. *Students for the Intermediate/advanced course are expected to arrive early and be warmed up in time for their class start.
