Just For Kicks

Dance is the art form in which human movement becomes the medium for sensing, understanding, and communicating ideas, feelings, and experiences. Dance provides a way of learning that develops communication abilities, problem solving techniques, and creative and critical thinking skills, along with kinesthetic abilities. At its core, the goal of dance education is to engage students in artistic experiences through the processes of creation, performance, and response. Our 2015 recital will take place on June 6, 2015 at Odell Williamson Auditorium at Brunswick Community College. The Hampstead recital will begin at 10am. The Wilmington recital will begin at 1pm. Competition teams will have their recital on June 7th at 3pm. Keep on moving and tapping along with the professional instructors who share their love for dance at Dance Express. Lyrical is a fluid form of dance done to popular ballads and slower contemporary music. The dancer learns to interpret his or her movement with feeling, motion, and style. Children learn to tell a story or create a picture of the song. This style combines the fluid beauty of ballet with the sharper moves found in jazz. Ballet is the backbone of all dance training. In ballet, students learn grace, elegance, technique, discipline, flexibility, stamina, and endurance. This class is a graded system using Russian and Italian methods. The class is divided into time at the barre, center, adagio, and variations.
