SEASIDE DANCEWAVE ~ DANCEWAVE JR. COMPANY
~ Andrea
As students progress in our program, they will be asked to form a Jr. Company. These students will study with Miss Andrea, THE STUDIO Teachers and guest teachers. This is the most valuable time for our dancers as they harness what they learn during the week in various technique classes and bring it to the stage. The first half of the class is technical warm-up and the second half is choreography and rehearsal for this semester’s performances. Students will work on Dance Numbers that require more attention and are more advanced and detailed than what they would gain in technique class. These Dance Numbers will then be performed in public representing SEASIDE DANCEWAVE (THE FUTURE OF 30A DANCEWAVE). Students perform all forms of dance…Lyrical, Ballet, Jazz and Contemporary! Rehearsals are held on Saturday’s between 11 and 1pm. $45 yearly performance fee required. Discount package rates apply. Please visit 30ADancewave.com .

30A DANCEWAVE TECHNIQUE CLASSES
LYRICAL/CONTEMPORARY (ages 6-Up)
~ Andrea
Lyrical dance is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and ballet. Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires flexibility & excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer should be aware of his or her facial expressions while dancing as they are telling a story through movement. Characteristic of the lyrical dance style is flowing dance moves that connect throughout the dance. The upper body movements are generally quite different from ballet styles, and one often sees body angles unfamiliar to either jazz or ballet. In some ways, the upper body movements resemble traditional African dance forms. Dance routines resemble works of Mia Michaels of “So You Think You Can Dance”. Blue Seaside Dancewave Tanks & black jazz pants required. Dance is performed with Foot Undies. Girls please have hair pulled back away from face in a neat bun.
