Registration Form and Medical Release
Combination Class meets for 60 minutes per week for 7 weeks. This class is for ages 3 years old through adult.
Combination Classes for students ages 3 to 6 will consist of 30 minutes of Tap and 30 minutes of Pre-Ballet; for ages 8
and above, 30 minutes of Tap and 30 minutes of Jazz/Hip-Hop.
Pom-Pon Class focuses on isolating the body with sharp movements using pom-pons. This class meets for 45 minutes
per week for 7 weeks. Are you also interested in making your School Dance Team next year, then check out our new
Dance Team Prep class.
Technique and Flexibility Class is geared to build the dancer’s flexibility and skills, such as turns, leaps, and jumps,
while perfecting skills and building your core, arms, shoulders, and legs. This is a must for dancers that want to advance
to the next level in dance, or for those dancers with the goal of making one of our Performance Troupe Teams and/or their
high school dance teams. This class will be offered in 7-week segments and meets for 45 minutes each week.
Fairy Tale Dance Class will be offered in 7-week segments and meets for 40 minutes each week. This is for students
that are preschool age (3 to 5 years old). During the initial week a fairy tale story is read, and then students learn PreBallet dance movements with music pertaining to the story. The following week the students put on costumes (over their
leotard/tights) and perform their routine. This class is an excellent dance class for beginning little dancers. It is a fun and
rewarding experience for the children to dress up and perform! The Fairy Tale costumes are provided for each student at
each performance.
Two-Year-Old Movement Class will be offered in 6-week segments and meets for 30 minutes each week. A parent
attends this class with their child. This fast-paced, fun-filled class introduces your child to easy movements and gives
them the opportunity to be a part of a dance class with the help of Mom or Dad.
Ballet I, II, III, IV and V. Classical Ballet is fundamental for all dance classes. Ballet provides the basis for all forms of
dance and should be taken first, or concurrently, with Tap or Jazz classes. Ballet teaches proper technique, posture and
terminology. Students are grouped together by age, skill level and experience. Classes labeled Ballet incorporate
technical skills and performance skills. Ballet Technique is a class for aspiring dancers who wish to develop an
understanding of dance movement. Ballet Technique classes are 60 to 90 minutes in length for 7 weeks. Most dancers
over the age of 6 should take a Ballet Technique Class in addition to their regular Combination Class.
Hip-Hop Dance Class will be offered for 7-weeks and meet for 30 minutes each week. Hip-Hop consists of high-energy
street movements as seen in your favorite music videos. The focus is on isolating the body while popping some tricks may
be added. (Also check out the All Boys Hip-Hop and Adult Hip-Hop Crew classes.) This class is for ages 7 to adult.
Please remember that proper dance attire is strictly enforced for every student. Please see the Spring 2010 Studio
Policies and Procedures sheet for a list of proper dance attire. Registrations are due by March 22, 2010. Please keep
in mind that all class schedules are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A place in class will not be reserved without a
completed Registration Form and the accompanying Registration Fee. Feel free to call the Studio at (920) 822-7400 with
any questions concerning the attached information. All phone messages are checked periodically during the day and your
call will be returned promptly.
Join in the fun this Spring at Sarah’s Dance Academy! Sarah’s Dance Academy believes in building strong
relationships with children, families, and communities. We promise to provide a fun, healthy, and safe environment for all
ages, cultures, and skill levels. As professional dance instructors, our goal is to provide high quality educational dance
while at the same time providing each student with self-worth and the ‘love of dance’.
