Intensives help dancers increase their ability to learn and retain choreography in a short period of time. We will focus on competitive team fundamentals, including performance, combos, visual windows, formations, transitions, facials & texture. We will have 3 FTroop directors teaching each week. Intensives are open to those who want to audition for FTroop and those who want to train!

If you are interested in auditioning for FTroop, you must attend at least 1 week of intensives. If you plan to audition, please email a headshot to dance@fentonsdancefactory.com. Please Include dancer's full name & birthday.

Tap is a rhythmic class that focuses on executing percussive footwork. This class will have an emphasis placed on precision, speed, and clarity of sound while executing rhythmic patterns. Rhythm and musicianship skills are essential to building a solid dance education, but even more important in a tap class.

Lyrical/Contemporary is a fluid form of dance done to popular ballads and slower contemporary music. This form of the dance uses the technique and beauty of ballet while incorporating the sharp moves in jazz. Dancers are taught to tell a story through their movements and facial expressions. This class includes a warm-up focusing on core strength and flexibility in addition to floor work, progressions, and center combinations that focus on dance as much as it does storytelling.

Jazz is an energetic type of dance that uses sharp movements to develop strength and coordination and control over each part of the body. Jazz can range in various styles from the excitement of funk and rock to the catchy tunes of Broadway. This class includes a warm-up focusing on flexibility, stretching, and isolations and progresses into across the floor and combinations.

Acrobatics and tumbling combine elements of both dance and gymnastics to execute precision acrobatic elements. Students will focus on building strength, flexibility, balance, muscle control, discipline, and concentration. They will also learn fundamental acrobatic techniques such as handstands, forward and backward rolls chin and elbow stands, cartwheels, backbends, walkovers, and contortion tricks. Students will be taught based on their own personal abilities.

Hip Hop class is an excellent choice for high-energy students who want to dance and have fun with popular music. This class encourages students to bring their own individual styles and personality to their movements. They will learn age-appropriate hip-hop dancing and be challenged to think on their feet. Hip-Hop is fast-paced and focuses on strength and agility, along with free-style movements of breaking, locking, and popping.

For safety, and to minimize distraction, all dancers will dress appropriately for class: leotards, tights, ballet or tap shoes. Boys can wear a fitted t-shirt and sweatpants but nothing too baggy. Hair, if long, will be pulled back in a ponytail or bun. 041b061a72
