Class Descriptions

Theater

Lauren’s class guides students through a journey where the art of storytelling is at the forefront, making this an ideal starting point for those who are new to dance or aiming to solidify their foundation. Lauren’s goal is to allow students to feel safe and seen in a fun and welcoming environment that celebrates individuality. This class ensures students not only learn the steps but also discover the richness of their own personal narratives, making each dance a unique expression of self. This class is the place to ask questions and talk in depth about dance technique in a way that other classes may not have the time to discuss. Class includes a comprehensive warm-up and an occasional across the floor, followed by a story driven combination. Lauren’s approach is more than just dance–it’s an exploration and celebration of the distinct stories each student brings to the studio.
