Community Dance Class

Join us for FREE dance classes in a variety of styles.

Classes are taught by invited guests and CSU Dance majors. All levels ages 16+ are welcome! No prior dance experience is needed to participate. Listen to your body and ask the teacher if you need a step explained, to move at a slower pace, or a more challenging modification.

Testimonials:

“I’ve had so much fun and love learning new technique in jazz, ballet, and modern as well as your mini dance history lessons… I appreciate that the class is challenging but not overwhelming. I’ve taken adult dance classes before that taught choreography that moved so slowly that I got bored. I have been meaning to sign up for an adult dance class for years now and this one is so convenient and affordable!” Ella Bowers

“I’ve loved attending and learning about different dance styles, and I believe studying dance helps my musicianship. I have also gotten to connect with faculty and staff from other departments in the CLA through this class, and it inspires collegiality at CSU… In particular, the class has given me ideas of possible faculty collaborations between music and dance that could lead to interdisciplinary arts courses.” Dr. Abigail Shupe.
