Young Dance Open House

Join us for an open house to visit the studio, register, attend free trial classes, and meet some teachers! Whether you’re new to Young Dance or have been taking classes for a while, open houses are a great way for dancers and families to familiarize themselves with finding our space, parking, getting around the building, and seeing the studios.

Saturday, September 10, 12:30–2:30pm

Free trial classes include Family Dance, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet, and Modern dance. A schedule of trial classes at the open house will be announced in Mid-August.

Erin Thompson Teaches Advanced Contemporary Classes in Person and on Zoom

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!

The Feldenkrais Method® is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.” By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.
