From all of us at Studio Go, happy New Year to each of our dance families! We are super excited to be back on the dance floor with your dancer.
Our theme for the month of January is “Leaping into the New Year, setting dance goals of better jumps, leaps and tricks!” Studio Go instructors are working hard to further our dancers’ knowledge of jumps, hops and leaps in each style of dance we offer as it is a pivotal skill, no matter the genre. Class playlists are spiced up with songs such as “Jumpety Jump,” “Jump Around” and “You Raise Me Up.” We are certain that your child is having a ball while learning all about sautés, grande jetés and other fun tricks!
Also during January, we are highlighting the famous ballet Swan Lake. Originally fashioned from Russian folk tales, the story of Princess Odette is sure to mesmerize Studio Go dancers across Atlanta. Our staff will be reading a book about the ballet in class, while providing Swan Lake music and creative dance opportunities to the kids. Tchaikovsky wows us once again with his fanciful musical scores written purposefully for the art of ballet and we cannot wait to share it with our students!
Speaking of a book, Studio Go is proud to announce our January book of the month “Barbie in Swan Lake!” We highly recommend this portrayal of the story for young kids. The artistically detailed pictures make for a captivating depiction, and Barbie is the perfect character through which to recount the ballet. We hope you will add this book to your family’s collection!
Happy leaping! Love, Miss Lauren
