This workshop is for the dancer who is looking to add another level to her dance. You have the moves, now it’s time to work on the fine points of performance. 4 experienced teachers–and exciting performers–join forces to help you shine on stage.

Most workshops focus on teaching the technique of a specific dancer, or the perfection of a specific move. We wanted a workshop that got right to the heart of performance, teaching elements that transcend differences of style or genre. Here it is!

$50 (limited enrollment - pay in advance to hold your spot)
