There’s nothing more refreshing than taking a ballet class outside! A wonderful combination of enjoying the sunny weather and working on technique! Thank you Colleen and Alec for another wonderful class.☀️🌈

🌙Choreographers Spotlight🌙

Our next choreographer is Christine Howe, if you look at her dancers costumes you might notice some similarities to her outfits!

Title: enmeshed
Music: The Black Dog, Sophia Loizou, Lucy Gooch, Francesca Guccione with River Camille & Soundscape Architects

Program Note: “A mycelial network is a map of a fungus’ recent history and is a helpful reminder that all life forms are in fact processes not things. The “you” of five years ago was made different from stuff than the “you” of today. Nature is an event that never stops” - Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life

enmeshed was recently performed at Ohio University for the East Central regional conference of the American College Dance Association
——————————————————————————————
Title: luna
Music: Sarah Coponat, Lola & Hauser, Theron Brown

Program Note:
ad astra per aspera
through hardship, to the stars

Shows, today and Saturday at 7:00pm!! Ticket link in bio🎟️ by @uakrondanceprogram

Title: she made me love

same space.
