Footworks Dance Studio Chicago

A Modern Dance curriculum inspired by African American Masters such as
Katherine Dunham, Alvin Ailey and Jewell McLaurin.  Our students enjoy a fun,
family atmosphere and receive personal attention. Our choreography and
costuming is always mindful of the youthfulness of our dancers.  We are dedicated
to provide students fundamental and advanced dance skills that remain true to our
art.

Classes Offered (Class placement is determined by age and skill level):

BEGINNERS ages 5-6

The Beginners class starts children off with basic movements
concentrating on developing the large muscle groups.  Students dance
to basic rhythms as they learn ballet technique and terminology.

BEGINNERS TO INTERMEDIATE ages 7-10

Students continue ballet basics that extend to modern dance
techniques.  An introduction to Graham technique begins here.

BEGINNERS TO INTERMEDIATE ages 10-13

The same techniques are explored in this class with increased difficulty
due to the age difference.  

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED ages 10-13

Students in this class have previous training.  Advanced techniques such
as Horton are introduced here.

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED ages 14 and up

Students in this class continue to develop advanced skills and refine
their presentation abilities.  This class is also our performing group and
will dance for special events.
