About Class

Mondays // 10:00 - 11:30am Free admission! Come and join our company morning class and connect with other dancers! Class is designed to improve fluidity of the spine and torso. Class will give you a deep understanding of the pelvis and how it helps drive your movement. We will get grounded, explore our physicality and musicality while working on transitions into the floor and around the space. This contemporary dance class fuses jazz, and contemporary techniques with no judgment on oneself. Also it's FUN! //LIMTED SPOTS// Pre-Registration Recommended Princess Grace Award winner Franco Nieto was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. He made the unconventional switch from football to ballet in his teenage years and has now taught and danced in over 10 different countries and performed with the likes of Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John. He spent 10 years as a principal dancer with NW Dance Project in Portland, Oregon, where he toured the world and worked hand in hand with the leading minds in choreography to create and bring to life countless original works. His early training came from the Vancouver School of Arts & Academics and Columbia Dance, and his formative line of choreography was born from his mentorship with Tracey Durbin.
