Each Thursday from 6:15 - 7:30pm Dance Initiative hosts a community dance class, taught by a rotating roster of local and guest dance artists and teachers. All levels welcome. We touch on contemporary modern, ballet technique, improvisation, afro-cuban, and typically learn a choreographed phrase. The focus is on fun, accessible dance that inspires creativity and works towards a choreographed sequence.
