Adult Classes (18 and older):
Most of our dance classes begin with a floor and standing warm-up to strengthen, stretch and balance the body. Included are sequences that focus on joint articulation, balance, foot work and preparing the body to move through space. As movers dance through space, concepts drawn from the infinite possibilities of time, space and energy are explored through given movement combinations as well as through improvisation.
Our classes are held in the Center for the Performing Arts

Intermediate Modern Dance
