These classes are suitable for those with experience who want to improve their technique and performance skills.  Phoenix Dance Theatre company members will teach extracts from the following repertory:  

Chaconne (1942) a solo Limón created for himself that has since been performed only by company principal dancers and Mikhail Baryshnikov. The choreography is inspired by the formal austerity and profound quality of the Bach composition that accompanies it.

Blue Roses inspired by selected passages from The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.

This course offers participants a rare opportunity to gain an insight into the work of Phoenix.
