Split Test!

Since August all of the jazz classes have focused on two goals: flexibility and technique.  I've really focused on everyone having the proper form while stretching so they can get the most out of it.  We started in August holding the splits for 1 minute and then 2 minutes in September and 3 minutes in October and November.  Even though not everyone is flat in their splits everyone has improved greatly and is closer than ever!  I'm proud of their dedication and hard work towards this goal.  We've also spent a good portion of class on technique.  Jazz class isn't all about just learning dances to compete with, all of the girls have come a long way with their leaps, jumps, kicks and turns.  Once the technique is there it makes learning dances so much more fun because then you can really execute all of the moves.  I see the improvement in your dancers and I hope you do too.  And most importantly, they're having fun while learning and becoming more successful at this beautiful art of dance.  Congratulations to those of you have flat splits!  We'll do this again in the spring time - so keep working on them.
