Through improvisational prompts and exercises we will discover each others rhythms and intrinsic patterns while working on breaking our predictability.

While developing momentum through space, class will investigate choreographic ideas and performance artistry.

Dance Collective Concepts in class will focus on the fusion of movement from the African Diaspora blended with modern and contemporary elements. Youth Master Classes Yoga by Elyse Morckel Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Classes will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now. Contemporary by DanceTheYard Class will begin with a guided improvisation and transition to a formal warm-up that refines and defines the movement language used throughout the remainder of the class. Class will culminate in a group combination that challenges bodies and leaves space for the dancers own creativity. Song & Dance: An experimental movement improvisation by Bone & Fiddle Dance Collective Inspiration for movement derives from a variety of artist modalities, through the art of dance, these inspirations can be abstracted and morphed into new choreographic compositions. This experimental movement improvisation is based on participants vocalizations, favorite song lyrics, and expressive poetry. Class structure will include a full body and vocal warm ups. Improvisations will be directed by Mrs. Logan based on participants lyric choices, and playing with classic choreographic structures. Popping by Samuel McIntosh The street style Popping, is an umbrella term for many styles such as Animation, Tutting, Waving, Dimestops, etc. In this class dancers will touch on the many styles and how basic Popping foundation is used within them all. -- *Elyse Morckel* The Movement Project Company Member 330.962.9547

Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.It’s 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.

As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
