We are excited to offer the following new classes!

Creative Movement I for 3-4 Year Olds onTuesday mornings, 11 - 11:45 am.  Instructor:  Tamara Schreiber.  Tuition:  $75/month.  We've added another Creative Movement class for our younger dancers.  This class will start on Tuesday, January 19th.

Modern Dance Class on Wednesdays, 10 - 11:00 am.  Instructor:  Tamara Schreiber.  Tuition:  $110 for 8 lessons (card) or a drop-in rate of $20.  This class will utilize techniques developed by Jose Limon, Doris Humphrey, and Martha Graham, who have all influenced Ms. Schreiber's training.  Through the vast and rich movement vocabulary developed by these amazing dance pioneers, students learn and accomplish movements that will strengthen the body and enrich their appreciation of dance and all it has to offer.  Participants gain a better sense of body alignment and balance, greater overall strength and range of movement, and a deeper understanding of how the space around them is shaped by the energy and quality of movement generated from their bodies.

The Contemporary Technique Class on Wednesdays, 7:15 - 8:45 pm.  Instructor:  Seme Jatib.  Tuition:  $130 for 8 lessons (card) or a drop-in rate of $20.  This class is based on a fusion of diverse techniques, such as Graham, Cunningham, Limon and Balanza.  The objective of the class is to develop body movement incorporating the use of gravity, suspension, fall and recovery, emphasizing the use of the torso as it relates to its movement possibilities.
