Hello and Happy Monday!
Come check out or share the flyer about this SRJC Spring semester dance class taught by Mrs. Lea Brown-Ferguson! 🎶 “Introduction To Dance” (Dance 10.1 and 10.2 combined) is on Mondays and Wednesdays 9-10:30am in the new Dance Room 201, which used to be Dance Room 951!
*The Tauzer Building and Dance rooms are remodeled and FABULOUS! 😍🥰

The course is for students in the community who are interested in learning, or reviewing, the fundamentals of dance in a positive environment. No experience is necessary and anyone is welcome! It explores the basics of Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, and a bit of Improvisation and Choreography.
*One can even take it without the pressure of a grade, if they want, by taking it for Pass/No-Pass. 😊
