Open practice

Two hours on Saturday afternoons with a teacher on the floor, music dancers bring to try and a circle for anyone who wants it.

Open practice is for dancers who want more floor time. Work on what came up in class, try a sequence in the circle or just watch and warm up. It is unstructured on purpose, with a teacher nearby for questions and a quiet corner for anyone who needs a break.

  • Saturdays, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

  • Ages 9 to 15

  • Up to 14 dancers at a time

  • Studio A, with a sprung wooden floor

A studio with a low platform at one end and taped marks on the floor, ready for open practice

    Step 5: The circle

    Anyone who wants to steps in for a few counts. Nobody has to, and everybody cheers.

    Bring a water bottle, and a snack for the break in the middle.
