SPRING ADULTS: Contemporary Fusion: Performance Edition

Course Description:     
This special eight-week session blends contemporary dance with cross-genre influences, such as jazz, African, Latin and house, in an exciting choreography-focused class. Beginning with a technical warm-up and improvisation, dancers will build skills and confidence while learning an original piece. The session culminates in an informal showing, giving dancers the chance to share their work in a supportive setting. Perfect for advanced beginners and returning dancers ready to grow their technique, artistry and performance presence—no prior experience required!

Please note: Please wear comfortable clothing in which to move. Bare feet, socks or half-sole dance shoes are recommended. Please remember to bring water for hydration.
