  • TUESDAYS @ 7:30PM (intermediate)

    Warm up --> across the floor drills for joint conditioning and mobility --> choreography sequence! In this class we explore an array of choreographic styles, finding flow through the introduction of new textures, musicality, and movement qualities.

    *Physical prompts may include getting up and down from the floor repetitively, as well as bearing weight on our hands/wrists and knees. Knee pads or wrist braces have been helpful for some students! Knee pads are at the studio. Modifications are available.

  • WEDNESDAYS @ 5:30PM

    Foundational classical dance skills: alignment, terminology, and musicality. Gain strength through repetition and attention to detail.

  • THURSDAYS @ 7:15PM

    This class introduces floor work tricks and sequences along with principles of modern dance. Pants and/or knee pads are helpful! Knee pads available. This class involves learning to build "rolling surfaces" between your body and the floor, some of which may result in bruising or calluses. Each sequence has several "off-ramps" so students can work towards the next level at their own pace while gaining the necessary strength and coordination. This is an all levels class best suited for intermediate movers.

  • SATURDAYS @ 9:30AM

    In this weekly technique ritual we study and practice the best parts of classical technique within a joy-centered & injury preventative space. This will include terminology, musicality, and alignment. Suitable for beginners and trained dancers: this is an all levels class.
