DANCE PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES
As a higher education outreach program dedicated to community building, we are devoted to instructing both classical and contemporary dance forms. Our mission is to inspire a passion for movement practice, kindle curiosity about dance, and support the professional development of educators to contribute to the field.
