All Intermediate Dance students start EVERY CLASS with Ms Marian’s structured WARM-UPs - a basic start for dancers of ALL ages.

Contemporary is an intermediate/advanced level class for teens. Class starts with a warm-up, goes into technical exercises and ends with choreography and improvisation. Students will learn how technique and artistry work together to create movement, and how to approach choreography as an authentic and thoughtful artist. Dancers will also explore creating their own movement and sharing ideas.

Intermediate and Advanced Dance is a geared towards teens with previous dance experience that are currently taking a technique class at the DG.

Students study Contemporary, Ballet, and Choreography that will be a part of our new RECITAL PRODUCTION.

Each Fall semester, students from the Dance Garden audition for a dance performance OR Musical. We then take this show to local elementary schools as many times that we can book in a few days the 2nd to last week of the 2024 school year in December. We call this TOUR and it is the closest experience of what a professional dancer’s life is like that I can offer my students. Dance teaches self-discipline, strength and flexibility of mind and body, team work, self-confidence and an alternative way to deal with the stressors of life. Teachers and schools like our shows because they are unique in another way: children performing FOR children! The experience is inspiring for the young audiences watching and boosts the performance level of the DG dancers!
