ABOUT:
Each day consists of two contemporary floorwork-oriented technique sessions (10am - 1pm & 2pm - 5pm). Participants can register through the button below for up to any TWO technique sessions. For example, you may register for a morning session on Monday and an afternoon session on Friday, a morning and afternoon technique session on the same day, or just one session. Registering for any more than two days will result in you only being registered for the first two available sessions you selected.
​
Most classes are led by Kizuna Dance's Artistic Director Cameron McKinney. Some are led by current and former Kizuna Dance company members.
​
NOTE ABOUT REPERTORY LEVELS: ALL sessions throughout the week are open to any and all movers. Our goal in labeling the level of each of the afternoon sessions is so that dancer will be not be surprised at the movement's complexity. We encourage you to sign up for any level you feel fit, to be ready to be challenged, and to use the session as a free opportunity to explore your own movement practice!
