Calling all adult dancers who want to get in the holiday spirit! Take a ballet class with some holiday-themed accompaniment, then step into the world of The Nutcracker through choreography created especially for adult dancers.• 4 Mondays: November 16, 23 & 30 and December 7
• 6:30–8:30 p.m.
• Hennepin Center for the Arts, Studio 2B
• 528 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis
We’ll explore “Waltz of the Snowflakes” with original choreography by Justin Leaf, designed for intermediate adult dancers. Enjoy dancing to Tchaikovsky’s orchestral score as we move together through sweeping formations, develop musicality and stamina, refine the choreography through coaching, and experience the particular joy of dancing as an ensemble.
Harmony. Focus. Collaboration. Joy.
Schedule
• 6:00–6:30pm: Studio available for personal warm-up
• 6:30–7:45pm: Technique class
• 7:45–7:50pm: Break
• 7:50–8:30pm: Repertoire
Details
Open to ages 16 and up. All genders are welcome. Everyone will learn the corps de ballet role. Be a snowflake!
During the first three sessions, we’ll learn as much of the dance as possible while continuing to review and rehearse material from previous weeks. Our final session will focus entirely on rehearsing, refining, and enjoying what we’ve learned — no new choreography at that point!
Friends and family are invited to join us at 8:15 p.m. on our final Monday for an informal showing and final run-through. This is a fun, low-pressure way to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together, not a formal performance.
Video recordings of the choreography will be made available to registered participants for optional practice and review between sessions.
“This was a fantastic opportunity to dance to well-known music with fun choreography, a positive environment, and a great group of adult dancers.” –2022 Workshop Participant
Registration fee: $175
