Students are having a great time at the Adult Barre Classes.
Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company is now offering adult Barre classes on Saturdays from 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM. Barre classes provide a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates. It focuses on low-impact, high-intensity movements designed to strengthen the adult body in ways that few other workouts can. When your body shakes, it means your muscles are reaching the point of fatigue, which is a good thing. Your goal is to have the muscle group you are targeting during a specific section of class shake every time. After the shake, you will stretch, to elongate the muscles while they are warm and malleable. This leads to long, lean muscles.
Register today by emailing Hot Spring’s Children Dance Theatre Co. at hotspringscdt@gmail.com. Newcomers are welcome to join. The classes are conveniently located on the second floor of Steadman’s Wellness Center, directly off Central Avenue, at 216 Garrison Road, Hot Springs Arkansas.
Wear comfortable pants, leggings, or capris and a workout tank or t-shirt. Participants will also need a pair of grip socks, yoga socks, or ballet slippers to prevent feet from sliding in class.
The Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a knowledgeable and responsible board of directors with great focus, chemistry, and creativity. It consists of members with rich backgrounds in the performing arts that include acting, dancing, directing, education, production, marketing, finance, and business.
The dance company has been successful in creating income through ticket sales, dance lesson fees, and community support through tax-free donations. They offer our community its only pre-professional dance program. They are still in the growing stages, however, and are in great need of more community support in order to continue to produce high-quality performances with talented and motivated students who are growing and developing their skills here at home in Hot Springs.
Funds are needed to:
- Recruit national performers and mentors to augment the local students and performers
- Promote more student participation
- Increase scholarship opportunities
- Rent proper venues
- Improve costumes
- Improve set design and construction
- Increase community awareness
Support from the community will help HSCDTC continue to improve audience experiences. For information or to donate, visit Facebook: HotSpringsChildrenDanceTheatre or call 501-655-6815.
