About the class

This class is perfect for the beginning to intermediate dancer longing to move,express, and imagine. Each week we will explore new elements of performance and choreography drawing on elements of jazz, acrobatics, ballet, and modern dance. This class will help students feel stronger and more comfortable in their bodies, aligning them with their natural expression and authentic movement. No prior dance experience is necessary to feel at home in this class!
