Contemporary Class Description:
A 75-minute long class that combines dance cardio, stretching and strengthening. The goal is to maintain flexibility and dynamic physical range. By keeping our endorphins firing and our bodies centered, we continue to maintain our physicality as dancers and athletes. Elements of yoga combined with modern dance fundamentals and cardio exercises are jam-packed into each class. Contemporary classes are inspired by fall and recovery. technique This loosely-based Doris Humphrey style also pulls from our athleticism and creativity, utilizing our motion and emotion to create potent performers and committed students. Students who take Contemporary Class are invited to audition to perform in “Nut/Cracked” performances at The Flea Theater in December - please be directly in touch with Erin.

Ballet Class Description:
Each 75-minute class emphasizes breath, musicality, and grace with a Vaganova-based technique. Body awareness, posture, and powerful presence are hallmarks of this class which starts at the barre and finishes with center exercises.

Student Choreography Lab:
This creative project-based class gives students the opportunity to create their own (or participate as a dancer in a classmate's creation) work. Together we will define our goals for the 12 weeks, ultimately culminating in an in-studio performance and filming of the final piece. This class is for students who are self-motivated, curious about creating art, open to feedback from fellow artists, and have an interest in investigating their own signature style. Erin will give prompts, guidance, and insight to students as their ideas sprout and coalesce. Students must take two technique classes a week, provide their own music-playing device and bring headphones, and a journal to every class. Class is limited to seven students and priority is given to high school seniors. Ages 13+ or by permission.
