Thrance is not a technique, like ballet, hip hop, jazz, or tap. It is a style. Thrance is dance with feelings. Thrance class is an opportunity for kids to just dance, to create their own moves & their own characters, using music from various genres and time periods: classical to pop, from Bach to Bruno Mars to Saint Saens to Bing Crosby to Miriam Makeba to Earth, Wind & Fire.

For 6-8 yrs & 9-12yrs
Each class begins with some upbeat movement repeated each week, to get the kids warmed up and loose. The rest of the class focuses on creating a thrance and performing it. At the beginning of a session I present a few songs for the kids to choose from. Once a song is picked, we will talk about it's theme, mood, etc. We decide on simple costumes that we construct together. Each week, we add choreography, created by the students, to our thrance. At the end of the session a performance is held for family and friends. All materials included.
