HAWLEY ST CONTEMPORARY BALLET (open level)
Saturdays, 10-11:30am in Carole's Dance Studio at 33 Hawley St
Register
Students will be invited into contemporary approaches to ballet techniques that include kindness, rigor, coordination, curiosity, and specificity. Together, we will deepen physical exploration and expand knowledge of movement vocabulary. In these classes, dancers will learn and increase familiarity with ballet terminology, and apply anatomical information for maximized freedom within form, function, and joy.
Experiential and Somatic approach to Ballet.
Open to all levels who want to train together in a supportive environment. This program is for anyone who loves ballet, especially the people whom ballet has left out. Reimagine the standard components of a ballet class and prioritize joy, generosity, play, mutual admiration, and virtuosity.

INT/ADV CONTEMPORARY
Sundays, 2-3:30pm with Rotating Teachers
Register here
These are dance gatherings led by local and visiting professional dance artists. This is a time for us to experience what it means to be in a shared movement space again, in person, and be in community with one another. The structure of these classes is meant to be informal in nature, so dancers can get and give what they need. We are gathering for some nourishing movement and shared experience, with fantastic leaders to guide us.
