Check out Austin's Funk 3/4 class on You Tube!

The kids love Austin's Hip Hop Class!! It is Krazy!
**From the teacher, Austin "My "Funk 3/4 Class" from The Pointe studio in Lindon, UT. These kids are really good for their age. To the dancers: as you practice make sure not to rush at the beginning, and remember to make your moves clean and sharp. It's so fast that it can easily become a mess of moves where the audience can't identify what you're doing, so remember the isolation stuff we talked about. "

Pointe Superstar-Marianne Vargas

Our Pointe Superstar this week is the beautiful and talented, Marianne Vargas. Her personality shines like a star every time she enters the studio! Marianne is an example to everyone, as she overcomes each trial she is given-Marianne has Spina Bifida and travels in a wheel chair. She proves that beauty in movement is not limited by disability. She loves taking our Creative Movement class, her favorite dance style is hip hop and we think she is tops! Check her out in this video and we know you will be impressed!

WE LOVE YOU MARIANNE!

Spotlight Class Tap 4!

WAY TO WORK HARD TAP 4!

"I really enjoy teaching Tap 4. The girls learn very quickly and we are able to get through a lot of material each class. Everyone is very enthusiastic about tap and loves to learn new combinations, steps, and tricks. The girls in this class are especially fun to teach because they have great personalities and are always helping and encouraging one another to do their best and get the steps. In Tap 4 we have been working on various across the floor combinations that include flaps, drawbacks, thirds and fifths, and riffs. We have also been working on center rhythm combos that include heel work and paradiddles. A large emphasis so far this year has been on tricks and perfecting the girls' pick-ups (one-footed, single, and double) grab-offs, and wings." -From the instructor, Kenady Bunker
