"Donna's Dance...A Studio" provides group and individual instruction in the art of dance for students in the beginning, intermediate & advanced levels. The studio features combination classes composed of two or three dance forms within one class period. Emphasis is placed on training in techinique without loss of creativity, therefore providing "the best of both worlds" - learning but having fun d
oing so. The studio operates on a yearly basis with a 10 month program extending September through June and a four week workshop in July. The studio emphasizes technique/performance qualities, without sacrifice to body awareness or mental/emotional states. Programs are designed to give dancers a positive feeling for their art as well as an awareness of their own unique physical capabilities. Individual attention is stressed - the students/teacher establish a rapport and learn together and thus "grow" in their exploration of dance. In addition to the Ballet/Toe, Tap, Jazz and Hula dances, students are also given the opportunity to learn liturgical, lyrical, modern, and ethnic choreography. A major dance performance is given in spring with all students invited to participate. Our yearly concerts are held at the College of Southern Maryland's Fine Arts Theatre in LaPlata, Maryland. Advanced level students comprise "Donna's Dance...A Company." These students are featured in the end of the year concerts along with many performances throughout the year.
