Dance classes are a hoot and a half! Our classes will look different this semester, but ZOOM allows us to give one new dance experiences that we believe a dancer can still cherish and enjoy. Don't forget to register for classes by calling the office (707)463-2290 or emailing us at [email protected]. Fill out a registration form and send it our way!

Our new Spring 2021 schedule is up! We are again offering classes only through ZOOM; but, nonetheless, we are happy to see you all again. Here is a message from our artistic director, Trudy: Welcome! Due to the increase of COVID cases in Mendocino County, we will be offering classes on ZOOM. A Registration Form is included along with the class schedule for those who did not attend classes last session. If you participated in classes last session and paid the Registration Fee..., you will not need to pay it in January. If you do not see classes you are interested in, please contact us and we'll see about adding more classes! Please Note: Kim Robards (Artistic Director of Kim Robards Dance in Denver CO.) will be teaching Modern Dance/Theraband Workshops. The first one will be on February 12 from 4:00-6:00 pm for dancers in the Corps and Company levels. Therabands will be required. They will be $8 and we will have them for sale at the studio. If you have your own theraband, it needs to be 8 feet in length. We look forward to the time when we can see everyone in person! Please stay safe and healthy! For more information about classes and registration email us at [email protected] or give us a call at (707)463-2290.
