Dancing and finding pleasure in movement is for everyone of any age!

I’ve taught dance for all ages and experience levels for over fifty years. In my weekly session of modern dance classes, we’ll be working with somatic movement, structured improvisation, and floor work to build strength, flexibility, and ease of movement. You’ll learn patterns that move through space in community with other dancers, encouraging spatial and group awareness.

Mondays, 12:00-1:30pm

Drop in: $15-20. Cash or check made out to Kathryn Anderson.

Open dance and fitness classes seven days a week! Class offerings include ballet, Arabic dance, contemporary, The Ellové Technique®, jazz, BollyX, hip hop, Zumba, heels, sessions, and more.

Please join Lisa Erickson for Sunday Open Ballet:

March 31, 1:30-3:00pm
At the Center for Performing Arts, in the Sunroom.

A ballet teacher with 35+ years of experience teaching all levels and ages, Lisa’s welcoming ballet classes naturally guide students in refining their alignment, balance, and technique, while also discovering the value and importance of the use of weight in their dancing. Coupled with individual attention, feedback, and humor, students experience expansion and growth in body and mind – and experience joy in the process!

Students are encouraged to expect success and mistakes! Only when we allow ourselves to take chances and risk failure can we grow to our full potential. Every student is special, different, important, appreciated, encouraged, respected, unique, invited and welcome. Come play and see for yourself!

Drop-in: $17-20. Pre-pay via Venmo @Lisa-Erickson-121 or with exact cash.
