Join Anne Lentz at Zenon Dance School this spring for Contemporary Ballet, now on a new day of the week!

Contemporary Ballet – Hybrid
Thursdays, 11:15am-12:45pm

Ballet technique can offer a very useful foundation for organizing the body for many different styles of dance. In this class we will connect with our individual bodies through ballet technique using safe body alignment. We will explore the classical form and allow room for experimentation and investigation. This class will encourage you to tap into your own sense of movement.

Register today! Drop ins welcome.

Anne Lentz grew up in Minneapolis and trained at Ballet Arts Minnesota with Bonnie. She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College where she studied dance with Viola Farber. Professionally, she studied directly with Merce Cunningham at his studio in NYC as well as with other master teachers including Jackie Villamil, Christine Wright, and Jocelyn Lorenz among others. Anne has over 15 years of professional performing and teaching experience in NYC, Europe and Asia. She was a company member and rehearsal director with Pam Tanowitz Dance in New York City for 14 years. Anne was awarded a Bessie Award in 2009 as a performer in Be in the Gray With Me. Anne currently teaches Ballet at Zenon.  Her classes focus on exploring the interplay between rigor and ease through the ballet idiom. She is most interested in cultivating a sense of clear authentic movement in her students.

Please join us this spring for a series of three open adult class offerings featuring three different Twin Cities teaching artists. Each offering will include four weekly classes. Join for all three offerings or drop-in as your schedule allows. Each class will be followed by an optional time to connect with one another over coffee/tea provided by TU Dance – either socially distanced in our green room space or outside on the loading dock, weather permitting. We hope to create a space where people can explore movement and dance and also build community by staying to connect through conversation and reflection of their shared experience.

We invite you to join our second teaching artist in this series Aneka McMullen as she brings us Old Skool Dance House Party.

Open to participants age 18+.
