About the event

The dance class will go from 12-1pm PT/3-4pm ET and following the class will be a 30 minute Q&A about Dance for All Bodies and what we offer for all participants! 

Class content: Does your spirit feel like something is missing? Do you need a place to express yourself and want to build a stronger core physically and spiritually without overextending yourself? Need to dance with a live drum? Then you came to the right place. Beginner or professional: this class is for everyone. It's not how high you kick but why you kick!  Urban Jazz Dance is a convergence of artistic forces where RAW energy, ROOTED in FREEDOM, is expressed through the athletic BODY and UNCONTROLLABLE, PASSIONATE  dance.  Expect Ballet, Afro movement, plus more and even American Sign Language...the power of expression must be real.   Taught by Award winning Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter (hearing and Deaf are welcome to take class).

Accessibility: Please let us know if you have any access needs we should be aware of when you register for the class.
