4th & 5th Grade Creative Movement
Taught by Seryna Rogers
Dancers entering 4th grade will see a larger shift in their training. This includes the length of class time going from 60 to 75 minutes, as well as a deeper understanding of developing their movement. Many of the natural movements they have experienced in their younger classes are now carefully tied together to create movement patterns and styles. Movement concepts are taught which begin a more in-depth understanding of modern dance and ballet terminology. More traditional movement exercises are taught as a means to help the young dancer understand and build new movement patterns that can be used in more complex choreography. Improvisation is used as a primary skill to discuss basic elements of choreography and to develop skills surrounding partner work, movement invention and abstraction. Significant emphasis is placed on helping students develop their own creative voices beyond improvisation and giving them the tools needed to create their own dance solos, duets and trios.
Tuition $70 charged monthly
How do I register?
Use the table below to access the online registration form. Once you fill the form out, select your classes, and input your information the enrollment will be sent to the studio. If you have issues or questions regarding this process, please get a hold of the studio.
Can we try a class first?
Absolutely! We’d love to offer you a FREE trial class to come and experience, first hand, the magic of what we do at South Valley Creative Dance Studio.
Please use the table below and select “TRIAL” enrollment on the form. This will let the studio know that you are interested in learning more but not enrolling for the full semester/year just yet. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to the studio.
What fees do you charge?
Monthly tuition rates are found in the class table. In addition to tuition, we ask that all dancers pay a one-time $30 costume fee per class they are enrolled in and a $35 production fee per student in the spring. These fees cover the cost of costuming and producing our show. The costume fee will cover the purchase of a leotard that your dancer will wear for the performance AND that you can keep afterwards. The production fee will be used to pay for a videographer to shoot and record the show as well as other production costs. A downloadable video of the performance will be made available to families.
Do I need to enroll for the whole year?
We highly suggest that you enroll for the entire year. Our Fall semester is spent in the studio dancing and building skills, while our Spring semester is used to choreograph and prep for an end-of-year recital. We don’t want anyone to miss out on enjoying and being a part of our amazing production.
If you can only enroll for part of the year, we recommend dropping from classes at the Winter/Holiday break. Please see below for more information about our withdrawal policy.
What if we change our minds?
Every effort is made to make sure you love your dance class and want to keep coming – not only all year but for years to come! If you have issues with the studio or teacher, please feel free to bring them to the attention of the studio owner – we will make every effort to make a place for you at this studio.
If, however, you must leave classes we require a 30-day written (email is fine) notice of your withdrawal, after which time no more tuition will be due. This policy is strictly followed and will be enforced – it’s also a part of the legalese when you register – so you’ll see it again as a reminder!
