based on lessons in class.

This class focuses on developing a strong movement voice through quality of action,
transitions, and level changes. Working from the floor to low trapeze, mid-level, and into the air, participants will explore how to create their own style and translate it into clear, expressive physical movement. Ideal for students interested in creating original work and performing.

All of our showcases are divided into 2 parts: our family-friendly acts are in our first half, after which we take a brief intermission with refreshments. Our second half is our “After Dark” half, containing acts that for various reasons may not be suitable for children or sensitive individuals. This may be due to explicit unedited expletives in songs, mature themes or suggestive content.

Our shows often contain strobing lighting effects, so strobe-sensitive individuals are advised to refrain or consult with the studio owner regarding the nature of lighting.
