Classes!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Open Company classes led by local choreographer, Darnell Weaver. These classes are designed to cater to dancers of all experience levels within our community. Our Intermediate/Advanced Modern Dance Technique class is open to individuals aged 18 and older. At Disciples Christian Church, our company class will be held Monday nights from 6:30-8:30 PM and Saturdays 2-4:30 pm. This is an excellent chance for adult dancers to refine their technical abilities, engage in physical activity, and connect with our company. Join us for an enriching dance experience!
