CLASS INFORMATION

"Individualizd instruction and placement in classes are based on age readiness, Skill level, learning styles and the student goals. We promote self-esteem and  positive outcome. My purpose is not to only over see the progression of my dancers but my greatest responsability is their well being. Behind the dicipline and respect my teachers, staff and myself uphold at the studio. My job has been done when I could rest at night knowing that every student leaves the studio with a feeling of accomplishment. Growing pains are invloved but when so much time is shared in a classroom a wonderful bond, respect for dance between the teacher and student are nurtured. That is what makes dance a beautiful and magical art form. My goal is to continue to achieve that enviroment for all our children at OVATIONS." Orlando Pena

Every week is filled with fun dance movements, scarfs, hoolahoop, tapping feet. Wiggle your toes, hopping, folk dance, to stomp little feet. Learning stories of ballets from Cinderella, Nutcracker Sweet, Swan Lake, to Mermaids and Princesses adds to the encouragement and joy of movement.

Tap:
From the classic Randy Skinner (Fred Astair style) to hoofers. This class covers a wide range to explore the rythms and language of sound with our feet. Students dance from low flat shoes to heels as they advance. This gives them the flexabiltiy to be a versatile, marketable dancer. From A chorus line dancer to popular video work.
