07/09/26 - 07/30/26 (4 weeks)

Open to students who have completed any style Ripple 3 or higher during the '25-'26 Season

 

Best for dancers ready to expand their skills, train in an energized group setting, and experience the pride of learning and performing new material.

A 4-week summer series focused on jazz technique, acro training, and learning a production-style jazz dance.

Technique classes are grouped by experience level, while all dancers train together in acro and choreography, creating a motivating studio environment with dancers of varied backgrounds and strengths.

Dancers may choose to perform at the Taste of the Arts Festival on August 22, or participate in the workshop without performing.

→ Everyone will learn the choreography; those who opt not to perform at Taste of the Arts will simply be placed where their presence will not be missed.

 

This class is hosted by the Pure Performance Company and open to anyone who has completed Ripple 3 or above in any style. No commitment to join the is Pure Performance Company is required.
