Each class provides a low pressure, supportive atmosphere where participants can connect through the love of dance and community. Rooted in traditional modern dance technique, classes focus on finding ease and grace through proper alignment, core strength, and dynamic use of the breath.

Intro to Modern for Adults Workshop
Four-week sessions 

Thursdays 6:00 - 7:30 PM (PDT) Sessions monthly 

 

This 4-week series is perfect for first-time dancers who want to learn in a small, safe, and supportive atmosphere. The series provides a fun and encouraging environment where students learn dance fundamentals through short, easy-to-learn dance sequences. The class will cover the basic structure of a dance class, modern dance vocabulary, key concepts, and how to pick up sequences and memorize choreography. With time to ask questions and explore movement ideas, this series is great for brand new dancers, beginning-level dancers who want to revisit the fundamentals, and dancers with experience in other styles looking to start training in modern.​
