Welcome back to 2025 Musical Theatre Classes! 
We are so enjoying reconnecting with our fabulous returning students, and getting to know some wonderful students who are new to Stage Door this year!

So far this term the class have been doing some great physical work. 
They have learnt their warm up dance routine 'CUPID SHUFFLE' as well as exploring 'Corner work' exercises using a drum. This helps students to feel and understand rhythms, as the tutor creates scenarios our students have been manipulating their bodies and discovering amazing movements.

Learning and honing good dance technique benefits us hugely as performers, helping us to gain strength, stamina, confidence, progression and learning how to use our bodies correctly and safely when dancing.

Homework this week is to practice the wall and turn work undertaken in class: 

WALL EXERCISE
- Turtle
- half a star 
- knee slight bend 
- shoulders forward

'ARABESQUE TURN' 
- supporting knee straight
- left knee 90 degree 
- clockwise 
- right arm and left arm 'backwards L'

BALL CHANGE
- seesaw 
- ruler stans

We also learnt that our Asteroids Term One song will be 'Live in Living Colour' from the musical 'Catch Me If You Can'. 

The resources for the Asteroid class (ie Song Tracks, Song Lyrics, Notices etc) can be found to the far right of this page, above the tutor pics.
