Explore contemporary choreography with attention to musicality, movement quality and expression. Ella is a Kansas City native and LA-based professional choreographer. Her return brings another opportunity to train with a visiting guest artist during Thanksgiving weekend.

Dancers from any studio are welcome. The class is held in Lenexa and welcomes dancers from across the Kansas City metro, including Overland Park, Olathe and Shawnee.

Both classes cost $40 public or $30 for verified company dancers.
