Lyrical Workshop

with Julia Rosser
5. May 10:00-11:30
Studio 1

Join us for an open lyrical workshop for teens and adults (12+). Lyrical is a form of dance that mixes ballet and jazz techniques with a focus on emotional expression.

Join our youth program, where we take great pride in fostering the love of dance in young hearts. Our classes are thoughtfully crafted to provide a strong dance foundation, focusing on both technical refinement and artistic expression.

Our ballet curriculum draws inspiration from the American Ballet Theater certified teaching program and seamlessly blends the esteemed Vaganova, Cecchetti, and Balanchine Techniques. What sets us apart is our commitment to infuse the latest research in dance science, ensuring a training experience that's not just exceptional but also rooted in safety and holistic growth.
