Ananya Dance Theatre’s Shawngram Institute for Performance & Social Justice offers the following classes online:

Tuesdays: Yorchhā Strong, 9:00-9:30am, CDT
Wednesdays: Intro to Yorchhā, 6:30-7:30pm, CDT
Fridays: Intro to Yorchhā, 6:30-7:30pm, CDT
Sundays: Advanced Yorchhā, 3:00-4:00pm, CDT

Yorchhā is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique that intersects principles of vinyasa yoga, the classical Indian dance form Odishi (from the eastern Indian state of Odisha), and the martial art form Chhau (also from Odisha).

Classes are donation based. We suggest $10-20 per class but please donʻt let financial limitations stop you from participating. Another way to contribute is by sharing information about the classes on your social media or inviting people in your orbit to take class with you!

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Let Loose your Love of Ballet!

Lisa’s ballet classes are crafted to naturally guide students to refine their body alignment, enhancing their balance, technique and potential, while also discovering the value and importance of the use of weight in their dancing. Equally important, she trains dancers to develop the positive mindset that leads to success. Ballet, like life, is about 90% related to the stories we tell ourselves! Add to that her expectation that students have fun and appreciate and learn from their mistakes (the bigger the better: the bigger the mistake the faster we learn), and students’ experience is one of challenge, growth, empowerment and fun! Come see for yourself!

Thursdays, 5:30-6:45pm: Intermediate

Sundays, 1:30-3:00pm: Slow intermediate

Mondays, 5:30-6:45pm: Beginning 2
