Dance classes underway!

Dance+classes+underway%21

By Kylie Juelsgaard

Now that school has begun, dance classes are also starting at Dance Atlantic and Villa Dance. The dancers work hard all year long for the recital, normally held in the beginning of June.

In the first few weeks of classes, dancers work on the basics.  They also make up routines to see how much they have improved over the summer and to refresh their minds.

Both dance studios offer ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, pointe, and tumbling classes.

Studio Instructor Haley Pelzer says there are 250 students attending Villa Dance this year. Along with the studio in Atlantic, Villa Dance also has a studio in Audubon. The students that attend the studio in Audubon perform with the Atlantic dancers at recital held at the Atlantic High School.

Junior Allie Siggins from Villa Dance exclaims “I’m super ecstatic about dance starting!”

Dance Atlantic has 300 students attending the studio this year. The studio had a recent practice with the Kansas City cheerleaders. They will be performing at Arrowhead Stadium on October 27th.

Sophomore Emily Yager from Dance Atlantic commented, “I’m excited for dance starting and I have been waiting all summer for it to start! And it’s fun to start getting back into the routine of everything.”

From Dance Atlantic, Junior Karly Monson says “I’m excited for the upcoming dance year and for learning our recital routines.”

Both studios perform during half-time in the gym during basketball season at both girls and boys’ games.

All dancers are ready to get back on track with dance and work hard for their recital.
