Dance
Express yourself through dance
Explore the world of dance in our contemporary, studio-based program. You will learn to work collaboratively with your classmates and to express yourself physically, emotionally, mentally, and creatively. Whether you are new to dance or an experienced dancer, we’ll help you to develop artistry and technical skills in modern, jazz, hip-hop, ballet, and more. Over the course of your dance journey, you will study the elements of composition and bring your ideas to the stage in student-choreographed pieces, as well as performing a variety of styles in works created by our guest artists.
You don’t need anything but a body that is attuned to its inner rhythm. Movement emerges from deep within and expression is manifested. An artist is born."
