If you grew up watching kathak in living rooms or salsa at family parties — this is for you
If you’ve spent years wishing someone would put these art forms on a stage that matched their scale — this is for you.
If you’ve got a friend who’s never been to live dance and you’ve been waiting for the right show to bring them to — this is for you.

It may feel odd to walk into the space - even chaotic to feel the energy of multiple rehearsals going on at once.

And somehow, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Our season is coming up in 6 weeks!

It does so many things- it separates the teacher from being the sole propagator of knowledge

it solidifies the more experienced students knowledge base

it offers students more space for individual questions and training

it connects students in the classroom

meant for short little moments and used judiciously it becomes a great training tool!
