leaps in motion
Leaps in Motion classes will provide an introduction to the training tradition of classical ballet, including instruction in physical conditioning, developing the ability to concentrate and lengthen the attention span, developing the visual and aural memory, learning to understand and apply verbal corrections, and learning to work in concert with the other members of the class (spatially, musically, and technically). Students will learn basic classroom protocol, fundamental terminology and the movements and exercises of classical ballet. An important element of this introductory training is the development of the students' interest and appreciation of the performing arts and their opportunity to explore dance as an expressive and creative outlet.
Leaps in Motion Includes:
• A 45 minute instructional period at participating school.
• Class includes ballet technique with TBCDE faculty and live piano accompaniment when available.
• Commemorative t-shirt for each child, at no cost.
• Voucher for up to three free tickets to attend a Tulsa Ballet Performance.
Five, 2 - week sessions are available to apply for on a first come first serve basis. The applications must be fully completed for consideration. The sessions will be held throughout the school year.
Classes will be held Monday through Friday.
The Tulsa Ballet Center for Dance Education staff will conduct program evaluations with input from the faculty members of participating school at the close of each two week session. Participating faculty members will be requested to supply pre- and post- program information through secured internet surveys. The fees for this program are based on a sliding scale.
