CANVAS Dance Arts

Collaborate with your peers and instructors to create a small scale dance production. Dancers will explore various dance styles and characterization through immersive storytelling and group choreography. Small group and solo pieces give everyone a chance in the spotlight.

DANCEProduction meets for 90 minutes once a week. This class is taught at an intermediate pace and dancers should have at least one year of experience in any dance style. If you are new to dance classes as a 6th grader, you can join Tuesday 5:30 DANCEproduction Jr. Unless invited by the instructor, grown-ups are asked to wait outside the dance studio.
