Hip hop yourself into a really cool way of expressing the real you with real attitude.

RADIO CITY ROCKETTES: PRECISION DANCE TEAM AT ITS BEST!
Whether your dream is to become a Radio City Rockette or just dance like one, come join us. Gina was awarded a scholarship to study at a summer intensive with the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes at the University of Texas in Austin. Dancers in attendance trained for a week in Rockette jazz, tap, and kick choreography which culminated in a performance. Gina is offering dancers a chance to experience the same precision dance team training that has previously remained exclusive to only Radio City. Learn the choreography and style that has made the Rockettes an American icon.

BASIC SKILLS: LEAPS, JUMPS, & TURNS
Dancers will learn to execute the most commonly performed skills for any performance team. The skills include chainés, pirouettes, axles, piqué turns, jetés, switch leaps, and Russians. The execution of most of these skills is mandatory in any dance/drill team audition. Strengthen these leaps, jumps, and turns, and look forward to scoring more points with the judges.

THE #1 HIGH KICK: IT’S TRADITION, IT’S THE HIGH KICK!
Find out every detail needed to execute a perfect kick. Use strength and flexibility exercises to increase the height of the kick. Emphasis is placed on programming the dancer to perform with stretched alignment, knees, and toes.
Technical strategies will be shared that will earn you the title of the #1 HIGH KICK.

TURNS IN SECOND FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
Attend this master class and learn preparatory methods that will gradually build to turns in second. Strengthening exercises will be demonstrated to increase turn out and to build endurance for consecutive turns. The basic mechanics will be demonstrated at a beginning level with lots of repetition. Let’s keep turning!

ADVANCED TURNS IN SECOND: SEVEN DIFFERENT VARIATIONS
Perform brilliant turns in second. We begin with exercises that build strength in the hip flexors and legs to increase the height of the extension and duration of the turn. Turns in second are real crowd pleasers for specialty groups and solo performers. Learn up to seven different variations which include arabesque, attitude, pirouette, soutenu, pique, coupe, and saut de basque. Entertain the audience and challenge yourself with turns in second.

FOUETTE TURNS : FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
Have you always wanted to learn how to perform fouetté turns but felt intimidated by the difficulty? Attend this class and learn preparatory methods that will gradually build to the actual turn. The basic mechanics will be demonstrated at a beginning level, and you will now have the knowledge to continue practicing. Come on out and take the challenge!

FOUETTE TURNS
The Italian School of Milan, home to ballet masters such as Carlos Blasis and Enrico Cecchetti, was known for strong technique and the virtuosity of its dancers. These performers astonished the audience with their difficult steps and brilliant turns. The tradition continues today as dancers labor to perfect one of the most challenging and beautiful turns, the fouetté turn. Fouetté turns may be performed with beats, in illusions, to four corners, out of piqué turns, cabrioles and into axles. Experience the timeless and brilliant gift of fouetté turns.

STAGE MAKEUP: PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD
Dancers and pageant performers make your next spring revue or staged competition even more impressive with emphasis to the “stage face.” Bring your “show kit” full of makeup and we’ll have some fun! You will be introduced to shading and highlighting techniques that will minimize and maximize features for a more beautiful you. Add dimension to features when distance and harsh lighting flatten and wash out the color of the face. Tricks will be shared for camouflaging dark circles and covering blemishes. Find out what colors look best with your eyes, how to apply false eye lashes, and much much more!

CLASSICAL JAZZ TRAINING
Jazz dance is America’s gift to the world of dance and no one embodies the spirit of jazz more than Gus Giordano, the internationally recognized choreographer and originator of the famous Giordano Technique. Based on his technique, this class covers the basics of alignment, the plié, isolations, contractions, hinges, lunges, and the popular jazz hand. The warm up and center floor activities graduate quickly from a beginner to advanced level. This is a sound curriculum for creating greater awareness of the dancer’s “center” with emphasis placed on technical excellence.

FUN TRICKS: DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
Add some hot sauce to your choreography with a new twist on leaps, jumps and turns. These skills include chainés, arabesque and piqué turns, battement and jeté combinations as well as axles, and cabrioles. This class has something for everyone building from beginner to advanced progressions. Get a new "look" for your performance by incorporating fun and exciting skills. Do something different!

TAP: TIME STEPS
An energetic cast of 42nd Street dancers have "wowed" audiences by drumming out beats to the traditional time step. Begin with a single time step and then build in intensity with a triple time step, double triple time step, or a winged time step or a traveling time step. It's fun to learn and looks and sounds great in any tap routine. Challenge yourself and add zing to your choreography with time steps.
