Tap/Ballet Class
Find out what's happening in Acworthwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
This class is a combination class divided with 20 minutes of tap and 25 minutes of ballet. Since ballet is the basis for all dance technique, the combinations of both work hand in hand. The technical training is taught through ballet, which in turn helps teach the proper shifting of weight and patterns in movement for tap. Since children naturally respond to music and movement, all of the activities are executed to fun music. Class will be taught by Creative Movement and Dance (CMD), a mobile dance program which operates at locations throughout the Atlanta area.
