01 / The class board

Pick a card. That’s the class.

Every class and program we run is pinned up here, roughly in the order people usually start. Find your card, then put your name on the sheet at the end of the wall.

Not sure where you fit? Say so on the sheet — we’ll point you at the right card.

02 / Program notes

Intensives and choreography.

Whole days in the room instead of one class at a time: more rehearsal, more notes, and a performance at the end of it. If you want to build something with other dancers rather than just take class, this is where that happens.

Put your name on the sheet and we’ll tell you what’s next.

Intensives

Performance intensives

A stretch of focused studio time that finishes in front of an audience. Come ready to work, and leave with something you made with other people.

Choreography

Choreography

Have a piece you want to build? Bring the idea — or bring nothing but a question — and work it out in the room with the dancers who are already here.

Studio time

Long enough in one stretch to actually get somewhere.

Rehearsal

Repeats, notes, and the part where it finally clicks.

Performance

The intensive ends on a stage, in front of people.

03 / The room

A collective is a room you walk into.

One wooden floor, a long barre, and whoever shows up that day. That has been the whole setup from the start.

04 / Community

Workshops, open to the neighborhood.

Community workshops take what happens in the studio out to the rest of Reno — plain rooms, no mirrors required, and movement that makes sense whether or not you’ve ever taken a class.

No jargon. We promise.
