BodyCraft: Youth ChoreoLAB begins in just under one week, and we're buzzing with excitement!

Here are our top 5 reasons to sign your child up for BodyCraft!:

1️⃣ BodyCraft's final performance has been strategically scheduled in February to avoid the busy schedules of other spring activities.

2️⃣ BodyCraft dancers take an active role in creating and choreographing the final performance.

3️⃣ With collaboration being at the heart of BodyCraft, dancers will find their creative voice through collaboration, creativity, play, and storytelling.

4️⃣ From movement and storytelling to set and costume design, BodyCraft invites dancers to imagine the world of their performance from the inside out.

5️⃣ Dancers will perform in the same space where classes take place. Dancers get to see their creative work grow from an idea in the studio into a live theatrical experience.

⭐️BodyCraft: Youth ChoreoLAB ⭐️
Offering classes for all grades K-12!
