RECREATIONAL DANCE
Rec Dance offers the opportunity to explore dance in a less structured environment than Company Classes. Dancers will be exposed to various disciplines on an introductory level without concern for perfecting technique. They will experience the use of different worship elements such as tambourines and ribbons, and learn choreography to perform in an informal showcase. Practicing memory verses is included in class time. Rec Dance classes run January through the end of May Showcase. Classes are taught by teen student teachers.
DRESS CODE
- Black short-sleeved leotard
- Black capris or leggings
- Shorts or skirt to cover the bum (any color)
- Pink ballet slippers
We do not require REC dancers to use official GCDC uniform pieces, but they should be similar.
The black leotard and capris will be the base used for the May Showcase. We will provide embellishments to those pieces. All costuming pieces are property of GCDC and are to be returned at the end of the showcase.
