Meriden YMCA

Join us for a summer of dance and training to prepare us for the upcoming dance season in the fall. These summer classes are a great way for children ages 5 to 18 to meet other dancers and our teachers, learn how our dance program is run, and get into dance shape/stay in dance shape for our upcoming dance season. Dancers will grow in strength, flexibility, and technique, all while having fun with their friends. We’d love to welcome you into our dance family!

Stretch and Conditioning Class

This is a great class for dancers looking to grow their strength and flexibility to better their dance technique. All those tricks and skills learned in dance class come from the dancer’s core strength and movement ability. Dancers will work both independently and in groups to build muscle and flexibility with fun activities. Team bonding games will be played while working our bodies in both fun and effective ways. Dancers will enjoy working together and growing as dancers in this class!

Turns and Leaps Class

This class is a great way for dancers to build a proper foundation for all their turns and jumps. Building a proper foundation in these skills will help build the confidence of our dancers and their ability to execute more difficult skills. Dancers will work both independently and in groups to learn different drills to perform different types of turns and leaps. Dancers will learn proper terminology, techniques, and preparations to execute these skills. Dancers will enjoy working together and growing as dancers in this class!

Choreography Class

This class is a great way for dancers to learn new choreography and practice their memorization skills. Dancers will be learning new choreography every week and practice executing the movement together as a group. Dancers will enjoy bonding with each other as a team and learning how to move together as a unit. Dancers will be able to bring together all of the skills learned from our other two classes to put together exciting dances with their team. Dancers will enjoy working together and growing as dancers in this class!
