Which is why we have created a summer session of technique class all summer long! Meet with us every Tuesday during June, and July to maintain your technical skills, improve and challenge yourself. The classes will be tailored to the dancers in attendance each week, however, we do highly recommend dancers that attend these classes have previous ballet and jazz training.
