At the beginning of each 4-week choreography cycle, we kick off our classes with a careful review of the initial choreography. Those first days we focus on teaching you a subset of the songs in the new masterclass. Over time, as the days and weeks go by and as students become more familiar with the masterclass, we eliminate the choreography review portion of the class and add new songs to the mix that build on what you've learned. This helps ease our way into the full masterclass.
To help you become familiar with the moves, we provide a 10- to 15-minute choreography review video that shows you the key choreography you'll be learning. All of our students review the choreography review video before starting a new masterclass. They also review it during the cycle if they miss the very beginning of the roll out and/or if they need a refresher any time during the cycle.
Our goal is to make your return to dance as easy as possible!
There are a few things you can do to make your initial adventures with The Dancer's Workout® classes as easy as possible, including:
1) START AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF A FOUR-WEEK CHOREOGRAPHY CYCLE, rather than trying to jump into the middle of it when everyone else already knows the choreography and when we have added on the additional songs. You can find out when a choreography cycle is starting by navigating back to the RED CARPET and reading about the TDW NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION. We only hold the Orientations during the first two weeks of a choreography cycle. You can sign up for both the Orientation and for your first class with us on meetup. It will definitely be easiest on you if you can join during the first week of our new choreography cycle; however, if you can't make it at that time, you can still join us any time.
2) WATCH THE CHOREOGRAPHY REVIEW VIDEO BEFORE CLASS. The video is available via the RED CARPET. You don't need to memorize the choreography, but it will definitely help to familiarize yourself with the choreography before your first class with us.
3) COME AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN during the first two weeks. By week three and four we will be doing the full exhilarating masterclass start-to-finish without any planned in-person choreography review, as everyone will know it. Of course anyone can ask questions at any time, but by weeks three and four everybody is raring to go!
Our dancers love taking each of these 4-week masterclass challenges! Truly, there's nothing better than doing something fun and challenging with a group of dancers, and then ending up being the best of friends! That's probably why everyone comes back again and again!
We are excited to welcome you to the family!
