$10 per class or $85 for 10-week session "Just Dance" is just that: DANCE
Diana
Ford teaches an engaging dance class that's a lot of Hip-Hop, a little
Jazz Dance, a dose of African Dance and some Modern Dance for good
measure. Named Best Dance Class 2006 by Cincinnati Magazine, "Just
Dance" is a fun way to get your heart pumping and creative juices
flowing. Description: The class starts with a short warm-up, then it goes straight into
the first routine, and continues going through each song until the
class ends. Diana demonstrates everything step by step until a dance
routine is created. That routine is what the class then practices until
they can do the dance. In addition, these routines are repeated every
week, and will occasionally change throughout the term. As the class
comes to an end, we do some more stretching exercises as a "cool down".
"Just Dance" is a slightly high impact cardio workout, and is suitable
for most levels of dancers. The Teacher: Diana L. Ford (Choreographer/Dancer) Diana has a
wide range of Theater and Media experience, both onstage and offstage,
including 2 years as a Production Assistant with Channel 12/WKRC, and
performing in shows with the Cincinnati Children’s Theater. She also
choreographed one version of the musical “100 Years of Divas in
American Music…” and performed in the show in various capacities. She
has performed in multiple Rhythm & Motion demonstrations throughout
Cincinnati under the direction of Heather Britt from the Cincinnati
Ballet. Ms. Ford choreographed the thought provoking 20 minute piece
called “FREE AT LAST” which included audio, video and dancers. It was
premiered at the Performance and Time Arts Series at the Contemporary
Dance Theater (CDT) in March 2006. In addition, she recently put together a fairly large
dance, poetry and music production called *The Woman Within (Letting
Go…)*, which she choreographed as well. Diana has a very broad singing
and acting background, and she writes as well. Diana has a bachelor’s degree in
Communications – Radio/Television from Northern Kentucky University.
She currently works at N.K.U. in the I.T. – Media Production and
Distribution Division, where she is a Media Coordinator, and is
responsible for daily cable television operations on Northern Cable
Television/Channel 18, satellite downlinking and recordings, and
assists with video and audio production and distribution.
