Triple Threat | |
Triple Threat classes are 55 minutes in length. The class begins at the barre with ballet and, depending on age, will progress through intro to the barre and then demand more from the student as they develop. The jazz component of class involves stretching for flexibility, balance and isolation of movement. It will include, depending on age and ability, developing turning and leaping skills, and combinations. Depending on choice of triple threat, the third component will be tap or hiphop. Tap will build on traditional tap technique and terminology. Hiphop will be varying styles and urban movement with age appropriate movement and music. | |
