CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Mommy & Me: Fun class gets your little one (and you) moving with songs, props, stories, and imagination. Your child will learn basic dance concepts, practice movement skills, build confidence moving in different ways, and spend quality time with a parent as well as with other children.

Creative Movement: This class allows each child to enjoy and develop his or her own creativity, using a variety of techniques from structured games to improvisational guidance through music, props, and lots of imagination.

Movement as Story: Creative movement with input from the children to create group stories in both words and movement.

Ballet: No prior experience required.

Meaningful Movement for Women: A dynamic dialogue between archetypal elements: Madonna (motherhood and creativity), Temptress (seductive nature), and Mystic (spiritual aspect) and their relation to the expressive physical body. Elements of creative movement, journaling, and relaxation techniques will be explored as tools to aid the body in its expression.

Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms: Free form, yet guided, improvisational personal movement/music journey within a group. Often called "Sweat Your Prayers", dancing the 5 Rhythms is also a movement meditation, a personal journey, a group experience, and a workout for mind, body and soul. However you describe it, dancing Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms is sure to put you in a glorious state.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Dance Guild seeks to provide affordable dance classes to children and adults. Classes have traditionally been offered in creative dance, ballet, modern and choreography. The small class sizes are designed to provide one-on-one contact between the students and instructors. In all classes, self-discovery and independent thinking are balanced with an emphasis on developing social skills while acquiring dance technique. For the children, instead of using classes to prepare for a dance review, each class builds on the one before and parents and other guests are invited to attend an open class at the end of the semester.

Teachers: Teachers are dance majors who have completed the Dance Pedagogy course and an internship, and are supervised by dance department instructor Lynne Clearfield.

Location: Classes are held in McLaurin Gym at the corner of Boucher and McKinley Streets, next to the Student Union of the UL Lafayette campus. Classes will be in Studio #104.

Parking: Parking is available at the Student Union parking lot. Parking tickets may be stamped by the dance department for free parking.
