Core Youth Program: Technique Classes (9+)
Our youth technique classes are for curious learners who want to incorporate the values of dance training into their lives. Our classes are taught in a progression that references important historical figures and eras in dance. The classes include a mix of ages and levels and this is built into the teaching approach, with some times where the students are separated by age or level to focus on different things, and other times where the students are together exploring the power of working across age and experience. Students in our youth technique classes receive high quality instruction in their chosen genre(s) and perform in the annual FusionFest in June.
