Our Curriculum

Speaking Through Dance teaches students that dance is life and we are not alone in this world but we live in relation to one another. We teach our students to train in three ways, we train our minds the thinking breathing artist inside, we train our bodies which are our instrument and we train as a community. Dancers walk away from class with a better sense of self, more confidence and a new place to practice their creativity!
