Modern Dance Class with Thern at Tapestry

Dancing and finding pleasure in movement is for everyone of any age!

I’ve taught dance for all ages and experience levels for over fifty years.

You’ll learn patterns that move through space in community with other dancers, encouraging spatial and group awareness.
