Erin Thompson teaches Advanced Contemporary at the Center for Performing Arts in August.

Erin’s advanced-level contemporary class through Zenon Dance School will be held at the Center for Performing Arts for the month of August, in the first floor studio. Class 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.

August 10, 17, 24, and 31
Thursday mornings, 9:30-11:00am

Registration is open through Zenon’s MindBody portal.
