Morgan, Tandem Intuition will be a captivating performance, with work that is thought-provoking and fresh. You can join us in the studio for an open rehearsal this month and get an inside look at the work as it is being developed. Our students are ready to take the stage at Francis Parker School where they will showcase their passion and extraordinary dedication to dance.

This class will explore dynamic contemporary techniques with an emphasis on cultivating a safe and creative space. We will be aiming our focus on cultivating and maturing our performance quality, ranging from improvisation to classical modern contemporary techniques. Some classes will start on the floor and slowly build up to standing, exploring movement in diverse relationships to gravity. Other classes will start with individual task-based guided improvisation. We will end with a phrase that utilizes the explorations and tasks from class for a holistic contemporary study. | | | | | | Youth Showcase - Light up Youth Dancers have been working hard in the studio in preparation for our upcoming show, “Light Up!” The performances will take place on June 9, 2024 at the Francis Parker School. | | | | | | | | Building Bridges Through Movement Workshop Join us for our inclusive "Building Bridges Through Movement Workshop," in collaboration with the Wheelchair Dancers Organization.
