Master Classes with Andie Stitt May 6
We’re so excited to have Miss Andie back in the studio Tuesday, May 6th for two special guest classes! Andie taught some classes in December and all of the dancers had a great time. On the 6th she will be teaching a technique class from 7:00-8:00 pm and another team building/culture class from 8:00-9:00 pm. These classes are just open to Sapphire and Emerald dancers, and the cost of these classes will be covered by BCAPA, so there is NO extra fee! Since these masterclasses are during Adv Acro and Adv Tap, we will run those recital dances during company time on Monday, May 5th.
Masterclasses with Brandon Medeiros May 6
We're very excited to announce a new masterclass opportunity for company dancers ages 7 and up! Guest instructor, Brandon Medeirnos will be teaching beginning hip hop 1 and 2 on Tuesday, May 6th. Though primarily a breakdancer, Brandon has been able to be exposed to multiple styles of hip-hop and choreography. Brandon has won breakdancing competitions, has had the opportunity of teaching at several studios & after school programs, and even had the opportunity to tour and perform with The Funky Bunch (formerly known as “Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch”) as one of their backup dancers.
Brandon will be teaching beginning hip hop 1 (ages 7-10) from 4:30-5:15 and Beginning hip hop 2 from 5:15-6:00 (ages 11 and up) on May 6th. If your dancer is already enrolled in these classes then all they need to do is come at their regular class time! If your dancer is not currently in hip hop, but interested in this class then just send me an email so I can add them to the roster that day. These classes will be provided at no charge to company dancers or those enrolled in hip hop.
