On the following page you will find an overview of the basic elements of our staple classes at CDPA. This is in no way a full and complete description of what is offered in the course of one year's study in a class nor the benefits of continued training in dance at CDPA. Please stop in to speak with someone regarding the specifics on any of our class offerings. Also, watch for supplementary classes and short sessions of children and adult classes offered periodically such as Yoga, Jazzercise, Adult Stretch, Art, Sign Language, etc. To request or to offer a special class please speak with Ms. Kathryn or Mrs. Kim.
The Foundations Curriculum is designed to introduce dance in an exciting, but disciplined environment and to begin the process of training the young student's body. Thinking skills and logic are a primary focus in order to build “smart movers' for quick advancement in later years. Each level explores a progressive curriculum outline focusing on the use or the body in relation to the physical laws of motion using time, space, energy flow, gravity and sequencing as boundaries. Movement games and songs are important elements in encouraging openness, confidence and creativity. Our Progressive Curriculum is offered for those students intending to maintain the serious study of dance throughout their school years. Those students interested in taking only one class per week or supplementing other sports or cheerleading commitments should seek enrollment in our recreational or teen level classes.
