Class Descriptions

At The Dance Bag we offer many styles of dance for all ages and skill levels. Browse the classes below to learn more!

............................................................................................................................

Creative Movement  Silver Belles (3 yrs.) 
Pre-ballet.  Must be 3 yrs. old by the end of August.

These tiny ones will learn ballet vocabulary and steps while singing to help with body memory movement.  This class includes ballet technique, beginning positions, rhythmic patterns, movement patterns, upper body strength building, deep stretching, and spatial recognition.  Props are also utilized.

Creative Movement  Golden Belles (4 yrs.) 
Pre-ballet, jazz, and tap

Dancers take what they learned in the 3 yr. old class and expand on it by learning more advanced patterns, positions, and movements.  Students begin tap in this class, which soon becomes their favorite part of the class.  Artistic expression is utilized to help with memory.

Kindergarten through 5th grade: 
Ballet/jazz/tap

Dancers learn ballet, jazz, and tap technique and put these movements together in combinations.  Students drill heavily in technique to perfect arm and foot placement while learning progressions.  Dancers engage in a variety of movement at the barre, center floor, and across the floor.

6th grade through high school: 
Ballet/jazz/tap

Students begin to explore lyrical, liturgical, and other forms of dance at a more intense level.  Dancers truly begin to put it all together and become experts at telling the story of the song through their body movement.  Students also qualify to attend camps in other cities to study under different instructors.

Clogging (open this year to 5th & up)

Students at this level may choose to take the optional clogging class, which introduces them to a whole new world of “tap.”  This fast-paced class includes new footwork and challenging transitions.  Clogging shoes are required and can be ordered through the studio.

Optional dance & drill class

No holds barred class!  Dancers experience intense jazz training including kicks, turns, leaps, deep stretching, and complex combinations.  Students are exposed to lyrical, hip hop, novelty, and drill team technique.  The limit is pushed, the music is outrageous, and the experience is over the top!  They love this class.

Adult tap

No class is offered at this time due to time constraints.

Zumba has moved!

It grew and grew!!  For space reasons, Shannon has relocated all Zumba classes, and you may contact her at 903 241 8341 or zumba.shannon@gmail.com for more information.  We truly miss seeing all the Zumba ladies but wish them well in their new place.
