Broadway Dance Center: Creative Movement DVD for 3 & 4 Year Olds
Broadway Dance Center: Creative Movement DVD for 3 & 4 Year Olds
A teacher’s most valuable resources are the tiniest dancers who toddle through the door. Teaching and keeping them is one of the foremost challenges of dance education.
Veteran studio owner and teacher, Toni Noblett, will guide you through those first daunting days of class with advice and ideas that are practical, honest, and inventive. This video will give you the basic tools to plan a curriculum that features creative movement as the initial course of study for beginning dancers.
It features games that will equip the youngest students to function in next year’s tap, ballet, or jazz dance class, and it encourages you to allow children to be children for at least another year.
Toni Noblett’s background in dance education is substantial. For twenty-six years she ran a studio in Roxboro, North Carolina where dance classes for children and adults were crafted to instil an appreciation for the arts, self-discipline and respect. Classes included children with special needs, and these children became her mentors.
Since 1989 Ms. Noblett has been on the staff of Jacques d’Amboise’s National Dance Institute in New York City. In 1998 she conceived and locally produced a project featured on CBS’s “Sunday Morning with Bill Geist.”
She has taught children’s tap at BDC, and presently teaches for Rosie O’Donnell’s “Rosie’s Broadway Kids.” Her two children, Casey Noblett Callahan and Cassidy Noblett, are professional dancers and respected teachers.

Broadway Dance Center: Takes on Theatre Dance DVD
Broadway Dance Center: Takes on Theatre Dance DVD
With Eugene Fleming, Danny Herman and Andy Blankenbuehler.
Andy Blankenbuehler: A Vaudeville Charleston is a dynamic theatre dance style incorporating the energy and performance of classic musical comedy. This dance, choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, focuses on personifying the sharp, humorous and exciting accents and rhythms of this particular period of music.
Isolating tight drum hits, lengthening through the long wail of a trombone, or shaking to match the syncopation of a piano run, this choreography offers the dancer a clear blueprint for building an exciting performance from the 1920's.
This choreography is best suited for the intermediate to advanced dancer.
Eugene Fleming: Enjoy the innovative choreography of Eugene Fleming whose Broadway career spans more than a decade. This Savoy Strut is a combination which captures the very essence of theatre dance.
The Strut is reminiscent of the 1940's when Harlem was in its heyday. Its smooth, sleek, tight movements allow the dancer to express the exuberance of the era.
This choreography is best suited for the beginner to intermediate dancer.
Danny Herman: Danny Herman teaches a classic jazz combination that is a tribute to the legendary Jack Cole, the choreographer who virtually invented the theatrical jazz dance idiom.
Mr. Cole developed an entirely personal mode of jazz-ethnic-ballet that prevails as the dominant look of and technique for American show dance. Jack Cole's unmistakable style endures in the work of Gwen Verdon, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Gower Champion, Peter Gennaro, Michael Bennett, Matt Maddox, Tommy Tune and countless dancers and choreographers.
Develop your knowledge, skill, discipline, enthusiasm, stamina, body strength and understanding of comedic movement.
This choreography is suited for the intermediate to advanced dancer.
