Classes are held on some Wednesdays, ALL Thursdays, some Friday evenings and some Saturdays.

Friday Morning Jazz: In-Person and on Zoom with Erinn This Week

Join us for Friday Morning Jazz through Zenon, in person or online!

Summer is in swing at Zenon Dance School, and Friday Morning Jazz has shifted into a hybrid format this session! You can register to be one of the eight in-person, masked, socially-distanced students to dance in Zenon Studio 4A or you can Zoom into class from anywhere.

Class runs 10:00-11:15am CST most Fridays.

Co-teachers Karla Grotting and Erinn Liebhard, along with Zenon, are taking great care to ensure that both the in-person and Zoom options will be high-quality, so join us!

This week, Erinn is teaching, and will focus on individual interpretation within her approach to jazz that emphasizes groove, interaction and improvisation, is inspired by both social and concert dance movement (particularly that with African diasporic roots), and is driven by jazz music. To dance in-person, register by 5:00pm this Thursday night. To dance with us via Zoom, register by 9:50am on Friday. Both types of registrations can be done at zenondance.org.

Questions? Connect with erika@zenondance.org.
