That's what it's all about. QUESTION ANSWER SESSIONS Q&A sessions are offered after every performance.

REPERTOIRE CLASS & GUEST CHOREOGRAPHY The setting of one of our repertoire pieces onto your dance company or class allows the student/dancer to more fully understand our work. Awareness of personal space and sensitivity to others is enhanced by learning someone else’s movement. It defines, explores and strengthens interpersonal relationships and skills by dancing with a partner or group. At the end of the class/workshop the students will perform the learned sequence/piece to each other in an informal or a formal setting. The experience of performance is important for the beginner as well as the advanced dancer. |
