Ballet Royale is offering two different opportunities for young dancers to move and learn throughout the summer!

Each month, we are offering a different Creative Story Ballet Workshop! Give your young dancer the joy of dance and performance. The workshops include a short performance at the end of the workshop, with a different Disney-inspired story each month. Two more workshops are left this summer – take one, or both! Recommended ages 4–9.

Saturday, July 16: Tangled-inspired Workshop
Saturday, August 20: Frozen II-inspired Workshop

We also have a 6-week session of Summer Evening Classes for all ages, from Mommy & Me and up!

The classes run July 11- August 18, 2022. Please see our website for more information and the complete schedule. 

Erin’s advanced level contemporary hybrid class through Zenon Dance School includes floor work, standing warm-ups, and phrase work, all designed to enhance the healthy use of joints and muscle groups as dancers release their weight fully into the support of the ground. Experiential awareness, body mapping, improvisation, and creative work are included as dancers channel their own expressive artistry within the movement. The delightful Dean Magraw will accompany on guitar.

Thursday mornings, 9:30-11:00am. 

Registration is open through Zenon’s MindBody portal and closes ten minutes before class.
See you in person or virtually soon!

Join Rhythmically Speaking for our new evening jazz class offering!

MoveTogethers are our weekly company class of sorts, titled as such to reflect their collaborative nature in which we improvise and create together in addition to moving through material from RS Artistic and Executive Director Erinn Liebhard and guest artists, including the choreographers for our August show The Cohort 2022: Stage. Don’t miss your chance to take class from visiting artists Kathleen Doherty (Halifax, NS Canada) and Laura Ann Smyth (Los Angeles, CA) – selected from a wide pool of applicants to set work for our summer show, these artists have unique perspectives on jazz that they are excited to share with you!

While we’ve been holding MoveTogethers for our company for a couple of years now, we are excited to open them up to the public this summer so pre-professional and professional dancers in our community can join in the jazz! Our approach (and that of the artists we select to work with us) to jazz emphasizes the elements of groove, interaction and improvisation that we see as present within all American social dance styles, honors the African diasporic roots of the form, and is driven by jazz music.

Each class is just $10.00, and this first session of open MoveTogethers runs Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis, through August 3. As space is limited, pre-registration is suggested but not required!

To pre-register, hop over to our Venmo and pay the $10.00 class fee.

We hope to see you there!
