This is more than a class offered at Dezi’s Dance Studio. Dezi’s performing teams are just how they sound! It is a group of students who dance at the studio twice weekly and perform throughout the year! The Performing Teams are try-out based and we are looking for students with strong work ethics, ability to stay on task, and the ability to learn choreography quickly. They will need to have an adequate level of flexibility and must be expressive as they dance. This is NOT a competition team and will not be traveling outside the valley. This is a team designed to give students who are passionate about dancing the opportunity for more rapid personal progression and more performing opportunities. This is for serious, committed dancers looking to perform more often than at the spring recital. Students must be committed to practicing and dancing all year round. Try-outs for each year’s team will be in June after our spring recital and performances begin in late summer/early fall.  Students on the Performance Team grow and come together as a dance family and really have the opportunity to learn and progress. This is a time and financial commitment! Any questions can be sent to dezi@dezisdance.com

Instructor is Darbi Stoll  and will be team-taught with Dezi Haderlie.

This is a tumbling only class. This class takes the ability to tumble across a mat and combines it with choreography to create a fun and intense routine. Students will learn how to tumble and create good body mechanics needed for a strong dancer and tumbler.  Progressions with be taught up through back handsprings and back tucks. Each student progresses at their own rate and appropriate skills are taught as the student is ready.  Pre-requisites for the class include the ability to do a backbend, comeup, kickover, hand limbre and front and back walkovers on your own.  The class will require a strong work ethic. It will be hard.  This is not for students that are just looking for a fun social experience.  We will expect students to work on things at home as well. Two tumbling routines will be learned and performed at the spring recital.

If you are interested in this class – contact Dezi at dezi@dezisdance.com to discuss where your student is concerning the skills required for this class.  Students returning from last year’s advanced class do not need to contact Dezi!! Class is 1 hour and 15 min once a week and tuition is $69/month.

Instructor is Julie Cranney

Pointe is a type of ballet where dancing is done on the tips of the toes, or en pointe. This is for serious ballet dancers willing to put in the hard work, time, and effort required to learn to dance en pointe. Ballet is the basis for almost every type of dance! Dancing en Pointe requires great strength and good technique. It allows more advanced ballet dancers the ability to grow and increase individually and as a group.

Julie is certified with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) which is a highly regarded and respected dance organization throughout the world, with an emphasis on classical ballet. Dancers need to have been in ballet for several years as well as Pre-Pointe and have permission from the instructor to be in this class.

Pointe shoes are very expensive and students may need to buy multiple pairs a year. Class meets 2 times a week for 1.5 hours each day.  Tuition is $154.50/month

The class will focus on several modes of dance including jazz, contemporary, lyrical and modern.  It is the perfect class for those who are new to the studio.  It is also great for students that have been taking other classes and are ready to experience these genres. This class allows students to experience what different dance genres are and why they have those differences. It allows students to find their own place and favorite styles of dance, in a positive, supportive environment. Extensive stretching and cross the floors will be a part of this class. Class is 1 hour once a week and tuition is $64/month

Instructor is Reese Fullmer

This class is for the student who sees dance in their future in a dance team or competitive setting.  Extensive stretching and skills needed to make our performing teams will be a large part of this class.  Lyrical dance is very fluid and expressive type of dance, allowing dancers to express themselves in a beautiful way. Jazz will also be taught and these two genres will be the type of recital pieces they prepare! This is a one hour class for 3^rd graders and older that is very technique oriented.  This is not a recreational class and students will need to be highly motivated and be able to remain on task for a full hour. Students will be encouraged to grow and develop their technique in these two fun and fundamental dancing styles. Tumbling is not a normal part of this class but will at times be incorporated.   If your student is new to the studio but has danced previously – please contact Dezi to discuss your student’s dance experience to see if this class would be right for them.  Students who have a hard time staying on task after the first 3 weeks will be asked to move into a recreational based class. Class is 1 hour once a week and tuition is  $64/month

Instructor is Dezi Haderlie
