Community Contemporary Dance Class
Please join me for four weeks of joyful movement and self-expression. This contemporary dance class offers people ages 16+ the opportunity to dance in community with one another, whether a beginner, lifelong dancer, or anything in between. This class is open to all levels of experience and will incorporate a warm-up, gentle stretching, creative exploration of movement concepts, technique, and learning dance combinations. Please dress comfortably for movement.
Free, but please register in advance. You may sign up for all 4 weeks or individual dates.
