Description: Come sail away with us to Motunui and celebrate the journey of Moana restoring the heart of Te Fiti at this week long camp. We invite all dancers ages 3-6 to join us as we dance to a new Moana song each day in preparation for our performance at the end of the week. We include lessons in tap, ballet, and jazz dancing. There is also a Moana-themed craft each day. Make sure to reserve your spot early , we don?t want any bad tides holding up your journey. A snack will be served each day and one day will be set aside for a tea party. Please call Ms. Andrea Polyak at (480) 243-3952 a few days prior to camp to inform of any food allergies. Tap and ballet shoes are recommended; come dressed in your favorite Moana outfit! If you are interested in signing up for more than one week long camp, please visit the Recreation Annex for details on discounts.
Biography:My name is Andrea Polyak & I?m so excited to be teaching classes here in my community! I started dancing when I was 2 years old and at the age of 13, started helping in dance classes here & there at the studio I took at. When I was 17 years old, I was asked to be Assistant Teacher in a Baby Comb Class ages 3-5 years old. I learned a lot from the main teacher that year & had so much fun sharing my love of dance. Over the years I danced at BMDA, I competed at state & national levels with Tap, Jazz & Lyrical. We also performed all over the East Valley at community events. My favorite type of dance is Tap, performing & teaching it! Looking over the past 14 years of teaching dance, I really didn?t think this would be my job! Yet, I really don?t like to call it is a job more just making a positive influence in a young person?s life. I started teaching with the Town of Gilbert Park & Recreation in 2000 and you will find that most of the classes that are still running today are the ones that I started. From the Tiny/Mini tumbling, Fun & Fitness & Fairy Ballet! I spent about 4 years with town teaching before I had my boys. After that I stayed home with my boys and I ran a small dance program at the Las Sendas Community in Mesa one day a week. This program has been on going for the past 9 years! I?m married to a supportive husband, Keith and we have a busy family! We moved to Queen Creek in 2004. Beside the love of dance, I?m very active in Girl Scouts. I have daughter who is 12 & dances competitively. I also have two boys who are 8 & 7 and active with football!
