Creative Modern (Saturday - Summer Session)
Children & Teens | This class is completed
More technically challenging than Creative Dance, this class is for dancers ready to learn more movement skills while continuing to have fun improvising. Dancers begin to collaborate with others and develop their expressive voice as they learn to create dances using the fundamentals of choreography.
- Clothing: Dress for comfort and ease of movement. Dance clothes such as leotards, footless tights, sweatpants/shorts, leggings, t-shirts, dance skirts, etc. Students dance in bare feet.
