Individualized Technique Training for Ages 5 –18

theDANCELAB

individualized, small group enrichment for dancers
to strengthen technique and explore potential

theDANCELAB is an individualized training program at JLDC for dancers to advance performance technique working on flexibility, turn stability, leap height and extension, correct body alignment, core strength and foot stretching skills. For our youngest dancer, theDANCELAB is a ‘tools in hand” training class to better understand and practice resistance using their own body weight to gain core strength, better flexibility, and posture.

STRETCH LAB |

One of the most important aspects of dance training is strengthening flexibility. Students will increase their range of motion by using proper body alignment, bands and blocks.

TURN LAB |

From working on a single pirouette, to mastering multiple turn sequences, beginner and intermediate dancers will improve their balance, strength, and spotting techniques. While more advanced dancers will work on executing multiple turn rotations, fouettés and turns in second. 

LEAP LAB |

Students will build strength and flexibility in leaps and jumps. As dancers advance, they will learn new variations that they can implement into their dance technique. Advanced dancers should have full split flexibility.

SKILL LAB |

Dancers of all levels will learn techniques such as chin stands, aerials and illusions. Beginner students will learn the fundamentals and progress towards achieving new skills, while advanced dancers will have the opportunity to refine intricate moves that will compliment their training.

STRENGTH LAB |

Leave Strength Lab a stronger version of YOU! Age appropriate strength training allows students to meet the needs that dance physically demands.

FOOT LAB |

The Foot Lab focuses on strengthening all of the muscles that we may not always think about but are extremely valuable to improve stability, control, and injury prevention. Advanced dancers may take class en pointe.

SOLO LAB |

Our newest Lab is the perfect opportunity for dancers to refine their solo routines. Students will practice their choreography in small groups led by JLDC faculty and receive technical feedback and positive encouragement. Whether you are a seasoned soloist or learning your first solo, this Lab will elevate your skills and prepare you for success.
