Dance Works Festival

Dance Works Festival Bringing the dancing community - professionals, directors, teachers and students - in one place! DANCE WORKS because we work together!

Originally started by the Berkeley Arts Council and the Berkeley Co. Parks and Recreation and now sustained by Musselman Theatre, Inc., DANCE WORKS is a tradition in Berkeley County, WV for dozens of young dance students to gather in the spring for a festival of instruction and performance. Dancers from the four state region of WV, VA, MD and PA come together to increase their performance abilities, work for scholarships for colleges and camps, and feature their abilities on the stage. Professional instruction is given in classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, hiphop and more! Every year is a little different with professors and experts sharing their unique talents with the student participants. On the Sunday afternoon, the DANCE WORKS Gala Performance will feature students and performers from the area perform for parents, friends and the public to enjoy. The evening is wrapped up with scholarships given out to student participants to further their instruction in dance.

We are pleased to announce our first teacher for Dance Works Winter fest '27!

Please welcome Chrissy Lewin, who will be teaching yoga.

Chrissy Lewin, E-RYT 200 | Kids Yoga Instructor | Educator

Chrissy Lewin is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, kids yoga instructor, and educator who is passionate about helping young people build strength, confidence, body awareness, and a healthy relationship with movement.

As a teacher and yoga instructor, Chrissy understands the unique demands placed on young dancers like the physical challenge, the pressure to perform, and the importance of learning to trust and listen to your body. Her yoga classes combine strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, breathwork, and mindfulness in a way that is approachable, empowering, and fun.

Chrissy’s goal is to give young dancers more than just a yoga practice. She hopes they leave her classes feeling stronger in their bodies, calmer in their minds, and more confident in who they are on the dance floor and beyond.

Her teaching philosophy is simple: your body is something to work with, not against. Yoga is an opportunity to build strength, find balance, and learn to listen to yourself.
