THURSDAY & SATURDAY DANCE
(Check below for class attire)
🕺 THURSDAY DANCE WITH JOHN RAY
Thursday nights are back at RSPA with TWO complementary dance classes designed to build stronger, more versatile performers!
✨ LINE & MOTION
Lyrical + Ballet Fusion
6:15–7:45 PM
This class focuses on the technique behind strong movement — line, control, balance, flexibility, musicality and storytelling. Students will strengthen the foundations that carry into every style of dance while learning how to move with more confidence, intention and expression.
✨ STAGE & SCREEN JAZZ
Commercial Jazz + Musical Theatre
8:00–9:30 PM
A high-energy mix of commercial jazz and musical theatre choreography focused on style, performance quality, versatility and learning choreography quickly. Students will work on making stronger choices, becoming more confident movers and developing the kind of performance skills needed for both the stage and audition room.
At RSPA, we want our students to be true quadruple threats — singers, actors, dancers AND musicians. Thursday nights are a great opportunity to make dance a consistent part of that training.
Students may take either class individually or make Thursday a full night of dance training with BOTH!
