Live piano accompaniment! We continue to enjoy an amazing rotation of guest teachers including Megan Williams, Caitlin Scranton, Nancy Schwartz, Seneca Lawrence, Chelsea Ainsworth and more.

MiXt Co. is our signature class series and performance project. Drop-in classes are offered year round, most Mondays (Contemporary) at 7:00 PM fall, winter and spring, Thursday (Ballet) 9:30-11:00 AM, every-other-week, year round, Wed. AM (Contemporary) 9:30-11:00 AM, every-other-week, year round, During our performance project seasons (5-7 weeks during fall and spring), the class and rehearsal process ending in an informal performance for full project participants is an option many dancers in our community eagerly take advantage of. Experienced dancers work with choreographers once per week on Mondays or every-other-week on Wed. or Thurs. during the season, on a short work to be performed at our Fall and Spring performances. Drop-in classes continue to be an option throughout the season, for those who can't commit to the full performance project (rehearsal for performers continue until 9:00 PM, after class). 

The program strives to be a catalyst between NYC and CT choreographers, dancers, dance enthusiasts and audiences. Choreographers gain access to new communities of movers. Participants have access to quality contemporary, modern and/or classical practice and process, while our local audience will enjoy the variety created and presented.

Performance Project participants must be 18 or older, though mature younger dancers are welcome to drop in for classes, or those 9-14 can join us for our Master Class Series for Dancers 9-14 years of age.
