Through these classes, you'll explore the origins of the movements, learn new techniques, and experience the joy of dance in a welcoming environment open to everyone. Running from September 26th to December 7th, the donation-based series ($5-$45) offers a chance to connect, grow, and perform. With two optional performances on December 8th, all levels are welcome.
