Energy We’ve Moved! Our Program has grown by leaps and bounds! We outgrew our Northbrook space and are now proud to call the Deerfield Park District home. Not only do you benefit from the wonderful facility the Park District has to offer, but the registration process is so easy! Any questions about our program can be answered by calling Energy directly at 847-581-1031. Classes are open to all communities. Our Instructors Our instructors have years of dancing and teaching experience. They are professional dancers who have trained at such prestigious dance schools as Gus Giordano, Lou Conte and Joel Hall. In addition, many are among our top requested performers from our DJ company. Teachers include, but are not limited to: Nisha, Ike, Geena, Cindy, and Jason. Our Dance Show We also feature a unique recital at the end of the year. An Energy DJ spins the music and along with fantastic lighting effects, a magical event occurs -- and your kids are the stars! Class Attire Students should wear comfortable, body forming clothing. No baggy clothes permitted. Dance shoes or gym shoes recommended. Breakdancers should wear sweats or warm up pants, no shorts. Class Descriptions Hip-Hop – Activity # 352510 After much demand, our hip-hop program has expanded. Younger classes learn age-appropriate choreography amidst a fun party environment. Older classes focus on strengthening skills. It’s a blast! Cheerleading/Poms – Activity # 152506 Look for registration in Fall 08 brochure! Whether your child wants the basics or prepare for any future school involvement, this class sets them on the right path. Since both poms and cheerleading are derivatives of dance, these classes focus on how to incorporate dance into the correct pom and cheerleading routines. Excellent preparation for school tryouts! Party Prep – Activity # 152511 Look for registration in Fall 08 brochure! Many students in 6th and 7th grade are thrust into a whirlwind of weekend parties. This class teaches many of the party dances and also simple dance moves. Its a great way to get a head start. Girls Dance Troupes – Activ. # 552512 Look for registration in Fall 08 brochure!
