Ballet Series
Six weeks from February 5 - March 12
$18 class fee, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If cost is a barrier to entry, reach out! We’ll make something work.
This intermediate-level class explores Ballet principles including terminology, modulation of weight through the feet and legs, length and stretch through the limbs, an outward performance quality, and articulation of the feet and ankles. A large focus of this class is on somatic exploration through movement, with the goal of building a deeper understanding of one's individual functional anatomy. Dancers may wear ballet slippers, socks, or dance barefoot (please no pointe shoes).
Contemporary Series
Seven weeks from March 19 - April 30
$18 class fee, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If cost is a barrier to entry, reach out! We’ll make something work.
The contemporary series is geared toward advanced or professional-level contemporary dancers. Class will proceed through a series of exercises to warm, stretch, and strengthen, rooted in release-based contemporary. We’ll improvise, we’ll ask questions, we’ll practice picking up choreography (quickly!) and performing for one another. Dancers can expect to do floor work most classes - kneepads and long layers are suggested but not required.
