Even though school-year classes are out of session, summer can be a great time to focus on dance. There are fewer distractions, less homework and no recital choreography to remember! At Turning Pointe, we promote safety through ongoing training, cross training, and intentional periods of rest. Our summer session classes are six weeks, giving both new and returning students a low-commitment opportunity to grow as dancers and use their gifts for God (with plenty of rest and open time on the summer calendar).
Why? Because even with summer camps, vacations and other seasonal obligations, being diligent with attendance in summer dance classes will give you a huge advantage when regular classes start back up. Still not convinced? It’s as simple as retain, refresh and refine! Read on for more on our top three reasons to stay (or start!) dancing this summer, and why Turning Pointe Dance is the best place to take summer dance classes in Colorado Springs.
RETAIN
Taking summer dance classes can help retain your muscle memory, minimize muscle soreness and chance for injury, and increase flexibility, strength and technique so you don't miss a beat when the school-year session starts up again in September. Students work hard during each school-year session. Don’t let your progress slide! Our muscles need to be active in their training. And just like our faith, when we ignore them, they lose their strength. By continuing your training through the summer months, you’re setting yourself up for strength and success!
REFRESH
The Bible tells us that our bodies are temples. And as dancers, they're also our tools for worship! Summer classes are a great time to focus on the care and maintenance of your temple, whether that's building strength in a Ballet class, re-energizing your heart in a Worship class, or unwinding after a long season with a simple technique or improv concept class. Turning Pointe’s summer class schedule has everything from acting and vocal classes to combos and choreography, and strength and stretch, plus all the basics and classic classes you’re looking for. There’s even a class just to improve your floorwork! Whatever you need to reset your mind, body and skills, we’ve got a summer dance class for you.
REFINE
What better way to refine your focus than to set some summer goals! Want to master that pirouette? How about getting all the way down in those left splits? Even if it's as simple as building strength in your ankles or improving your turnout, summer is the perfect time to work toward those milestones. With all that happens during the school-year session (between peek weeks, costumes, choreography, and progress reports), it’s easy to get distracted from your original focus or intention. Summer dance classes allow you to work steadily toward your goals without the other class obligations. You’ll be amazed at the progress you’ll make with six weeks of dedication!
